With the reports saying that the younger generations have increased rates of IBS, suspected to be because of the abundance of microplastics in our environment, I figured I’d ask how many you have IBS?

I have IBS
Oh yeah, I'm definitely weirdly shidding and farding. Is it gluten? Is it lactose? Is it milk proteins? Is it FODMAPs? Idk, maybe, sometimes, sometimes not, roll a d20
Stop consuming milk from cows you dummy
:im-vegan:
oh but if I drank milk from humans instead, you'd call the :volcel-judge: on me
If you drink milk try lactase pills for a bit
I tried that for awhile, I think it's more about milk proteins because milk and ice cream destroy me, but a lot of cheeses are fine
It could still be lactose intolerance if you're still consuming milk, it has a lot more lactose than most cheese does. Idk about ice cream but I'd assume it's still more than cheese.
If you try it again try taking more lactase pills (more enzyme = more likely it'll properly digest all the lactose), make sure they're not weaker (they use a weird measuring system, the ones I use are 9000 FCC whatever that means), and maybe refrigerate them so the enzyme doesn't degrade
There's also lactose free milk (in addition to the soy/almond options) but doing the math it's cheaper to just use lactase pills than buying the lactaid milk
I have tried lactose-free milk in the past and experienced basically the same symptoms, but maybe I rolled a critical miss. I kinda like oat milk better now anyway.
