    The amount of lactase needed is a function of how much lactose you consume. I don’t think I make any lactase at all and it’s not exactly possible to overdose on lactase so I down multiple 20,000 unit pills every time there could be lactose in something and that seems to work quite well. If I’m eating a dairy-based meal like pizza or something with a lot of cream then I take a few pills with every few bites.

      Thank you for this tip. I didn’t think of it that way, I just kept going with the assumption that lactase pills just didn’t have any effect at all since I followed my doctor’s recommendations for specific amounts. I’ll try your tip (safely at home).
