am still a noob to being lactose intolerant(wow yall really have been living like this and pushing thru🫡god choses the strongest) but so far my steps to overcome the aftermath of accidental lactose ingestion for those who need it are as follows
i. realise today u will suffer
ii. speed walk to the store with the 30 minutes of respite u have before the next wave of pain
iii. buy kombucha(ginger and/or citrus flavor, bonus points checking ingredients for what acids they contain cause a lot have lactic acid that eats up the lactose so ur stomach doesn't have to), 1-2 oranges, easy proteins like tofu/chickpeas/various legumes-stuff like vegan meats have that all ready to go so i rec those, 1-2 avocados, bunch of water if u dont do tap
iv. suffer again
v. alternate like a 8oz glass of water and 8oz cup of kombucha w/ like 15-minute intervals so ur not just flushing ur system and ur body actually absorbs it
vi. eat an orange, painfully digest orange for 15-20 minutes
vii. more water+kombucha
viii. slightly less suffering but lots of tummy rumbles
ix. chow down on whatever combo of protein/avocado u got, painfully digest for 20-40 minutes
x. more water and kombucha if u have(id say like minimum try to drink like 16-20oz of kombucha collectively but shits expensive and in my opinion nasty so do what u can)
xi. eat the second orange if u have one
xii. tummy rumbles and bouts of the stabbing pain but probably no more scary bathroom trips, eat light dinner like fruit/avo, best to avoid breads or starches cause that makes ur stomach work too hard

💩probiotic gummies are a godsend.
oatmeal too ( I eat the dinosaur egg ones because I am a child.)
and replacing dairy when you can. (oatly's barista edition is so good. It replaced regular regular milk in my cereal.
I'm so close to being in remission.
but the emotional part is fucking me up because it's a whole ass lifestyle change that I'm just not used to... (the hardest part is giving up caffeine. I would shotgun two redbulls in the morning and then go about my day. I quit cold turkey but boy do I miss the caffeine. Coffee doesn't work in the same way)

🥣Omg I am also squashing a stomach bug at the moment and I had the noravirus back in January… cursed!!
Unfortunately I don’t think you can speed up the process it just has to run its course but to help your body bounce back start with liquids: water, pedialyte, and broth in small sips to test what your stomach can handle atm. Then when you’re ready, move to the BRAT diet — bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast… a chicken noodle soup :) for about 2 days (possibly more if your stomach is still sensitive). And then lots of rest + heating pad! Godspeed 🫡 and 𝓖𝓮𝓽 𝓦𝓮𝓵𝓵 𝓢𝓸𝓸𝓷 ❤️🩹

😵When you feel the sickness coming on, it’s best to prepare for the next couple days. Here’s some of the things I like to do:
- Clean up: you’re certainly not going to want to do it when you feel like shit
- Stock up on food: specifically, readymade meals and comforting foods. Also tea.
- Set up your outfits: doing laundry and preparing clothes for the next couple days makes a much larger difference than you would think.
Anyways that’s it I hope you feel better :)
