Im at work atm, so I'll update this as I remember things

My guys are some of the most sensitive and I've had blood work done and it shows I'm not lactose intolerant but for those times when my stomach absolutely detests me this is what I find works awesome to help settle my stomach.

It seems like the juices/gases in my stomach get out of whack and well crackers seems to absorb it all.

No, they eat human hair soy sauce and mink disguised as lamb.

I had no idea, you guys just made my week!!

Avatara Pizza on Memorial drive & 34 Street does great lactose free pizza. The whole place is gluten free as well, which is great since my wife is celiac.

The lactose free cheese they sell at community natural and "some" safeways is real cheese and pretty decent, but after a few years of cutting lactose out, I've just kinda lost the taste for cheese in most situations.

For protein powder just look for vegan types, there are quiet a few. I usually get hemp seed or Vega. Vega is more expensive, but has more protein. They have less protein than whey powders, but are packed with vitamins and you'll feel great after instead of bloated.

I'm extremely intolerant and can't touch goat cheese, but have no problem with baked goods. As much as a PIA it is to always be turning down food or bringing it up at restaurants, I feel so much healthier since I cut out dairy 3 years ago.

For liquid items, anything really thick is usually done with either cream or cornstarch so that's another thing to watch out for.

start taking probiotics and digestive enzymes with each meal - you can get bulk at costco. Building healthy intestinal flora is critical.
