my kryptonite.

Every superhero in history has a weakness. Superman has Kryptonite. Batman has bats. Spiderman has venom. Professor X has stairs. (ok, that last one was a little bit mean).

Well, my kryptonite is MILK. Dairy-products in general to be more specific. For those of you wondering whether I'm implying that I am a superhero, I am (don't tell anyone).



This condition of lactose-intolerance began my Freshman year in college and grew increasingly worse. To the point that a glass of milk would have me running for the restroom within 15 minutes (you don't want to know). Since then I have had to be more careful about my eating habits. Usually I'll still eat things like pizza, sandwiches with cheese, ice cream, and just suffer through the pain. But I haven't had a glass of milk for years.

Finally, I have found a cure to my kryptonite: Lactaid pills. They're like miracle pills. Sure people have been suggesting that I use them for years, but the first time I tried it years ago it didn't seem to work. But recently I decided to test it again with a FULL glass of milk, and nothing happened. NOTHING!

(I did not receive any payment for this endorsement of Lactaid pills. Although, maybe I should.)

1) don't hate on xavier. he's my boy.

2) hahah, out friend sam is lactose but he never remembers so we'll go to ben&jerry's and order the vermonster or even just a milkshake and it's not until after he buys it he think, "oh...wait...i'm lactose." and then eats/drinks it all anyways. bad news.

3) lactaid pills are the best! my friends take them and then gorge on ice cream with me :) mmm...i love me ice cream...
