It is also not necessary to do it this way, you can take small doses of milk daily over a longer period of time and slowly ramp up the amount and get the same results. You don't have to do an insane amount and just brute force it.

I developed lactaid-required levels of intolerance in my late 20s about a month after a camping trip. Had been a fierce milk enjoyer with no issues (even on the trip) my whole life. 8ish years later I went on vacation to a tropical country where the only milk products I had access to came from the dairy directly next door, with minimal processing. I was just curious about it to see if I would react differently and tried a cup. No reaction happened, so I gorged on milk products for the two weeks because I had missed them so much.

Still 0 idea how I got it and what exactly got rid of it but it's been 4 years, I haven't had any more raw dairy since that trip (except maybe occasional cheese, raw milk isn't legal here), and i'm still no longer lactose intolerant.
