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.
Tbf the youtuber based her experiment off a study published by a doctor in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Just maybe read the study yourself first and then consult with your doctor before doing it.
I almost agree with the idea, but trust me when I say you don't want morons reading actual studies because they will still come away with the wrong take but now they'll argue "I actually have read the study have you?"

Edit: here's the follow up video from 4 years after, so you can look at the papers she cited in both videos if you want.
