Lactaid Fast Act Caplet - 96ct

I have been using Lactaid fast act pills since I’ve been in college. I was diagnosed with lactose intolerance when I was first year college student. I was suffering greatly even with nonfat milk so after finding these caplets, I was able to drink nondairy milk again. These are my go to and my lifeline so that I can enjoy a little bit of dairy in my life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There needs to be a warning label on this product. This product dose the exact opposite of what it says. This product made me very ill for about a week until I stopped and realized it was the source of making me sick. Dealt with severe stomach pains & nausea. Never again will spend another dime on any lactaid product. As I believe this is false advertising for not including a warning label and warning others on the true side effects that they will experience.

I randomly became lactose intolerant 10 years ago, but it wasn't until 9 years ago when I discovered the Lactaid brand. This brand, and these caplets especially, let me enjoy all of the things I thought I had to give up eating! Now meals with friends and family always lead with the question "do you have your Lactaid?”

Lactaid products are wonderful. I can enjoy cottage cheese or a glass of chocolate milk without concern. I purchase all Lactose free products now and don’t miss. Milk products any more. How about a lactose free half n half, please!!

i’ve been using lactaid since i was in elementary school! love it !

I wanted chewable but got caplets.

I don't know if it's just the Fast Act lactaid or what, but every single time I take one, I get severe upper stomach pains, like doubled over ready to cry pain... And really really bad nausea. Not sure why. But I'm done with these. I'd rather have the diarrhea.

I would not recommended I was throwing up for hours couldn’t fully sleep and just horrible shakes

Within 5-10 mins of taking this, my stomach wasn’t feeling well. I started to get severe stomach pain and felt very nauseous. Soon after, I started vomiting. I still feel nauseas and still have bad stomach pain. I do not recommend this!

Like many on this thread, I have experienced severe nausea and vomiting with the Lactaid Fast Act- Extra Strength capsules (as recommended by my physician). I was hoping that it would be the answer for me but it is definitely not. Will not be taking again.

I got severe vomiting and severe stomach ache after taking that !!!!!

caused extreme vomiting and discomfort, I would not recommend this product after experiencing that. I wish the packaging gave some kind of warning. I recommend lacteeze over lactaid, I haven't had any vomiting with their product.

I like cheese, cheese doesn’t like me But after one of these bad boys, we can all be friends :) Love the pills, don’t like the chewables :(

Lactaid products work for me. I was born lactose intolerant. My mother said I couldn't tolerate breast milk. They tried me on cow milk and then goat milk. My childhood was filled with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. I avoided milk products for years. Lactaid is the only product that works for me. Fermented milk products and Lactaid is the way to go.

Please add nausea as a side effect, took some around 3-4 hours ago and now I’m feeling dizzy with the envy to vomit. I wouldn’t want to be biased and be affected by other reviews but I feel like voicing my concerns is important in this case. Thank you !

This are a great product for those who are lactose intolerant. It’s been one of the best things for me to purchase.

I use them to eat oreos lol. Few days later nausea and diarrhea. Not sure why but Im guessing this is from the body digesting non dairy foods and pushing it leftover contents from the intestine. If you need it take it but wouldn't take it too much or eat too much dairy. Know your body limits.

This has literally changed my life. So thankful for lactaid. I don’t have to worry about getting sick after eating anymore.

I took Lactaid fast act a couple of times without incident. Then, on the 3rd day, I started to get extremely shaky and nervous. By the end of the day, I had the most severe headache I've ever had. It felt like I had a really bad fever, though my thermometer showed normal body temperature. Then, the pain spread around. The entirety of my gums began throbbing and the pain spread to my teeth and jaw which made it virtually impossible to move my mouth. I then began having the shakes, the same shakes you'd have during a severe fever (though again, no actual fever). When I got home from work, I realized that my eyes were bloodshot red and I had no appetite. Finally, I excreted some of the weirdest looking waste I've ever seen in the toilet. The symptoms continued through the night despite already realizing it was the Lactaid and stopping entirely. By the next morning, the sore throat was so bad I thought I had strep throat. Finally, by mid-day most of the symptoms had gone away except for the excruciating headache and loss of appetite. Good lord. This is a lactase supplement which should be harmless. I've never had a reaction this severe to any prescription drug. Will NEVER even touch a Lactaid package again. Wow.

I too was excited to imagine being able to take a supplement and consume dairy in moderation. Unfortunately, to my surprise I began experiencing nausea and vomiting shortly after beginning these tablets. Sometimes the nausea and vomiting would not present itself for more than 46 hours after ingesting a single tablet.
