Oh, I'm definitely aware of your bottom point. As far as being lactose intolerant, my only pause with considering that is that my partner and I don't consume dairy, unless oat/nut milks count. And even then, I'm only aware of consuming dairy like that when I have a bowl of cereal (which I just had a few hours ago, and have not pooped since).

Either way, I just need to get the fucking tests done to know for sure, the health industry is just a fuck. My plan is to seriously start seeing the doctor about this come mid-January when my finances will look better.
