for me Lactaid works well but for only small amounts of dairy... In my experience one lactaid has not been effective on more than 2 oz of dairy in a product and not effective of more than 1 oz of actual milk or icecream...

Cannot take this enzyme more than once a day, or I lose almost all sense of taste. Can this be avoided? Why does it happen?

It worked the first 3 times I took it. The next time I was vomiting uncontrollably and had severe stomach pain. Was not sure it was the medicine until the next dose did the same thing! I took the generic brand but will not risk trying either again.

Taking one pill each meal or snack containing dairy has stopped the diarrhea and cramps, however some gas is still present. Two pills (as directed) may help further.
