Apparently you can fix lactose intolerance by loading yourself with lactose and probiotics at the same time for a brief period, albeit you WILL have severe intestinal distress for a while(weeks).
A youtuber documented her process of drinking like high lactose milkshake powder meant for nutritionally deficient refugees until she stopped having explosive diarrhea and criminal farts.
Uhh... this is a terrible suggestion, you don't have to OVERLOAD yourself with milk you can literally just take small amounts every day and slowly ramp up the amount over time and you will likely eventually become tolerant of lactose. Granted a full permanent cure from either method of this you choose is unlikely but as long as you have dairy in your diet you should retain the ability to tolerate it much better.
Works for about half to two thirds of people in most studies I looked at. Most of them don’t become tolerant but just report a lessening of symptom severity or simply no worsening.
Those that do become “tolerant” apparently often are still having negative effects like inflammation or damage to gut flora, but without the dramatic symptoms. According to my doc who told me to just avoid lactose and take lactase when I don’t.
If you mean for those who did it by brute forcing it, that is great but I would at least try the other option first because the turmoil and inflammation you cause to your digestive system will be crazy.
