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.
One of the things to keep in mind in science is repeated results across a variety of people reported on by a reputable source. I tried it once, and it did NOT work at all. Made it worse, actually (or it just got worse on its own. Happens).
Later on my doctor told me not to fucking do that again because it caused a bunch of inflammation. Point is, don’t blow up your bowels without talking to a doctor first, at least.
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.
