Agree. I am lactose intolerant and whole milk is guaranteed to mess with my bowels. BRAT, Yakult (as opposed to yogurt) and Gatorade are what work for me. I seem to tolerate Yakult fairly well, perhaps because it’s made from skimmed milk.
Supermarket yogurt don’t seem to contain the needed live bacteria to help combat the diarrhea, unlike Yakult.

Agree. I am lactose intolerant and No Way will I take regular milk, not even a shot! Unless it’s skimmed or soya milk, and prescribed by a health professional. Abdominal cramps during diarrhea are bad enough as it is. Add bloating from lactose intolerance, no thanks. I’ll stick to BRAT, Yakult and Gatorade.

Thanks for the suggestion Pamela. Not sure how well people with lactose intolerance would take to that though. 🙂

Take a shot glass filled with milk. Squeeze about a tablespoon or so of fresh lemon juice into the milk. Shoot it back like a shot of tequila QUICKLY. (If you wait too long it curdles in the glass and a gross lump forms.) That’s it! If you have recurrent diarrhea, this is the best treatment! Believe me, it works!
