Lactase enzyme

Apparently, you can get pills of 'lactase', the enzyme the body needs to break down lactose, and which is missing in people who are lactose-intolerant.

I'm seeing the doctor on Friday, and I'll ask him about it then. I don't want to take it every day - I'm taking enough pills, thanks very much - but apparently it's good for one-off situations. So for instance if I have a friend coming to stay - like last week - or just coming to visit, like tomorrow, I can pop a pill or two and then get away with eating like a normal person.

If I'm ever again feeling up to going out to eat, it would also mean that I could order off the regular menu. This lactose-intolerance thing is so limiting, it would be nice to feel that ocassionally I could be free to eat what I want.
