Product Review: What a blessing
Summary: 5 Stars
After two years of staying away from dairy, I started my almost-4-year-old son on this product. He still prefers vanilla soymilk, but at one tablet a day he is doing great with eating cheese, yogurt, and ice cream again. A bite of these before would have spelled disaster before, and even any food with milk product as an ingredient would cause gastrointestinal problems for him.
This has simplified our lives tremendously (no longer having to buy soy/rice alternative products). I don't have to worry about his grandma giving him mashed potatoes (or anything else) with tons of milk, and butter mixed in. Yesterday he had a couple of fried mozzarella cheese sticks at a restaurant on top of a yogurt he ate after lunch, and let's just say from this I've learned that I will either have to up his dosage to two tablets a day or find a with-the-meal type for times that he will have more in a day than usual. Even so, he didn't have any of the pain and discomfort that he used to have before starting on the lactase.
Overall I am so glad I found this product... I can give it to him in the morning with his multivitamin and not worry about how he'll do if he goes to his grandma's house or when he starts going to school. When he spends the night at his grandma's I just tear off one blister-pack which contains one tablet and pack it with his toothbrush, and he's all set to go. He enjoys the flavor and is happy to take his "milk vitamin".
(He's looking forward to a "peanut vitamin" for his peanut allergy, but I'm not holding my breath for that.)
Product Review: Works great. Convenient.

My kids take it once in the morning and they can have their milk with their lunch at school, have pizza for lunch and any cheeses or milk for snack without any worry. No going to the office for lactose pills.Product Review: Yummy

My daughter is severely lactose intolerant. She is three now. She does not like the taste of chewable Lactaid. In fact, the chewable Lactaid has caused some gagging. She loves this one and if she eats a small piece of cheese or a dairy cookie, I know her symptoms will be minimal now! I just wish it was more widely available.Product Review: tastes good, works well!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first product for lactose intolerance I found that my younger son would tolerate. It tastes good (like 'smarties' candy), chews easily, and does seem to work just fine. My son is very intolerant, so takes one daily and an additional one if he has more than 1 serving of dairy that day.
My older son (also intolerant) has converted to using these as well. They cost more than the ubiquitous lactaid/b-galactose products, but it is worth not having to pressure the older son into chewing a pill that doesn't taste all that great.
No fructose, mannitol, or sorbitol, either, which is ideal since my younger son can't tolerate those sugars/sweeteners, either.
Doesn't specify the probiotic(s) involved, but I would guess that it includes one of the strains that produces lactase enzyme itself, at least.

Summary: 5 Stars
When my twins turned 1 their Pediatrician said we could switch them to Whole Milk. I asked our Dr if I could give Zoey this product even though it said age 3 and up. He said it was fine to give her, that you can't overdose, it is only age 3 & up because it is a pill so just to crush it up for her. So I ordered this and started giving her Soy milk till it arrived.
It arrived on a Wednesday and I gave her 2 pills that day & Thursday per the instructions. On Friday I gave her 1 pill and that night I gave her a 10oz bottle with 1/2 soy & 1/2 whole milk. No diarrhea overnight or the next day. On Saturday I gave her whole milk w/ a little soy in the morning, cheese & a little fudge made w/ milk, ice cream & a 10oz whole milk bottle before bed. It is now Wednesday and we've given her whole milk morning, day & night as well as milk based food(mac & cheese, etc) and she has not once had diarrhea. She had a been a little constipated before I started giving her this medicine and stayed a bit constipated but she finally went poo today and it was pretty normal, a little hard. She just needs to eat more fiber because she refuses to drink juice.
Zoey is EXTREMELY Lactose Intolerant. She could not tolerate anything that had the slightest hint of milk in it. She couldn't handle cheese, yogurt, nothing. Even some of her babyfood had milk WAY down on the list of ingredients and if I split a 4oz jar between my girls, Zoey would have lots of diarrhea within 1-2 hours after eating it, sometimes sooner. Anytime she had any dairy, she had diarrhea and normally would have diarrhea several times after the initial feeding of dairy.
I put this pill on a paper plate and use the back of a spoon to crush it into a fine powder. Then I get the tip of my finger wet, dip it in the powder then put it in her mouth. I do this until all of it is gone. It tastes like a Fun Dip or Pixie Stick, it is very good, she loves it.
Thanks to this product I can finally feed my girls anything with Dairy. Before this, besides whole milk, I only fed them things w/out dairy because I didn't want to feed one of my daughters ice cream or things if the other couldn't eat it. And I was buying soy cheese which is a LOT more expensive than regular but now I can buy them regular cheese. This makes my job of making them things to eat a lot easier too because there are so many things that have milk in them or need milk and I am no longer reading every label before I make something.
I will update if Zoey starts having diarrhea or any problems.
