the Lactaid-brand eggnog gives me explosive diarrhea (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

why 😭

it tastes so good

Edit: I have looked at the nutrition label and done some mental math based on how much of the container is left. 80% of daily cholesterol. 100% daily saturated fats. 120% daily added sugars. This was in one glass.

What the fuck is this liquid taco bell bullshit

Postmortem: after sleeping and having a nightmare where I had a heart attack and died while shitting my brains out, I have poured the remaining half of the eggnog down the drain and have resolved to never buy it again because I like being alive

Lactaid sounds like a laxative brand, too.
Or a breast pump.

The problem with lactose free milk is that it's not lactose free.

They have just provided you with the lactose enzyme that you can't produce yourself to break down the lactose.

It could be so simple that the enzyme provided is bot enough for you and you need to pop an extra pill with enzyme.

Or your stomach just don't like the sugars in it.

So Lactaid brands still use milk. If you are allergic to dairy and aren't just lactose intolerant you will still have the same problems as drinking regular milk.

My current theory is that I'm getting to taco bell effect from the eggnog. Didn't realize until looking at the label about an hour ago, but it's got an insane concentration of added sugars, cholesterol, and saturated fats. I drank half the carton today (well, yeaterday) qnd if my mental math is right I've gotten 80% of my daily cholesterol, 100% of my daily saturated fats, and 120% of my daily added sugars. If my fiancée found out, she would be so upset because she made me promise that I wouldn't die first

Oh you drank that much? I limit myself to a glass per sitting otherwise the same thing happens. It's great tasting but enjoy it slower instead of gulping.

THAT WAS ONE GLASS

I mean, it was a large glass, but the whole carton is only one pint. I don't usually drink all of it in one sitting.

It contains both guar gum and carrageenan, both of which may be linked to digestive upset.

Is this the new sugar free Haribo gummy bear bag
