BACTOSE® 7-Day - Lactose Support Probiotics – Designed for Dairy Consumers – 14 Capsules (Repeat Monthly)

I have really bad lactose intolerance and lactose pills only lessen the discomfort, not the bloating. This is my first time trying bactose, and after finishing the seven days worth of pills, it worked!! I just had cheese and I did not get bloated and have zero discomfort!! Not only that, but it promotes regular bowl movements for me. Nothing has ever worked this well and I’m just so happy with this product.

Works really well. I have been able to eat dairy that I hadn't been able to eat in years.

When I saw the reviews for this I was so excited to start the product. I followed the instructions and was cautious not to consume too much, so I started with a grilled cheese sandwich. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. I’ll say that did notice a delay in symptoms but by the time it reached my lower intestines the cramping, gas and diarrhea still occurred. Huge disappointment and I would like my money back but I don’t have any product to return unfortunately.

POST REVIEW Update: Thanks to Bactose's fantastic customer service, they reached out to me and asked me to test it again. I was given an extra box and a refund for my "bad experience." So I decided to take this for another full 7 days before touching any kind of dairy. In my previous test, (I had 2 small servings of dairy on on the 5th day). So back to the test, on the 9th day (2 days after completing set 2) I had a slice of pepperoni pizza from Costco (they use extra cheese always) and half a soft serve cup. For roughly 60 minutes I felt a little bit bloated but that subsided. In the afternoon I had some flan and that had no effect. The next day I had some of the Gouda and Monterey Jack. I was pretty much bloated from noon until midnight, but the next day I had the exact meal plan again and didn't feel bloating. Monterey, Gouda, sour cream are the strongest lactose foods that are most bothersome to me, so its still better than being very bloated for days! Which would be the result without this. During the whole journey, I had been in touch with Bactose creator's, and I guessed that some people's digestive systems very overrun with bad bacteria and those poor Bactose are getting bullied and outnumbered, as the second round way better but not totally perfect. I think if you're like me you will need a few rounds to get going. I am boosting the score to 4/5 for this definitely positive experience! I feel if I keep it up it will continually get better . Thank you once again for the refund and extra box :) -------------------- During the 9 days I took it, this thing worked far superior than taking lactaid (which frankly only works for me 10% of the time) I started taking this Tuesday the previous week. I abstained from lactose, to give myself at least 5 days. By Saturday I started doing just a few High lactose containing foods . I ate 75% of the soft serve Sundae from Costco and froze the last 25%, which I'll get back to why. I also had 2 small slices of pizza that I made at home (2 is about the same size as Costco's one) . Nothing had any negative effect, my stomach felt free, It was great. Of course that gas isn't building up and ballooning the belly, so it has to go somewhere! Its going out the rear exhaust. Good for me, not fun for everyone else. What?? I also experienced some strange but very cool effects. By Saturday evening, I had some sort of hyper energy, laser focus and brain fog was wiped. I decided to pick up my guitar and noticed I was at least 3x as fast and playing things I couldn't play due to stiffness in my hands. I was able to play the first solo passage in the original Doom E1M1. In my entire years of playing guitar, with my carpal tunnel and all tendinitis, I've never been able to get to more than 33% speed, so playing this 3x as fast to 100% was crazy for me. There was no claims for this, or anything I've researched so I can't say this is "placebo." I just wanted to eat normally, lol. So what I suspect is the gut bacteria or lack of, is detrimental to many of my health issues. Unfortunately, the hyper energy and reduced pain only lasted through Saturday night. TEST: Oh yea, so I tried to eat the last 25% of ice cream , only 2 days after the 7 days required of taking the pills. Well I got bloated for the entire night and woke up still bloated! I'm talking about like 2 Tbps of ice cream. I mean come on! This only worked while taking it? Really? If i was kinda making good money, I'd be taking this every day for those cool effects, but I can't afford buying 4 of these a month. So, in conclusion I don't hate it, but it needs some fine tuning. The bacteria isn't surviving very long in the gut, that means its main claims isn't real (at least for me). Anyways, hope you can guys can tune it, or wished I could afford it for 30 days a month lol.

Where has this been all my life?! After the first week, I ate string cheese for the first time in 30 years. I enjoyed ice cream again. I even braved a big helping of macaroni and cheese without having issues or regret! I will say that by the 3rd week I experienced slight discomfort again with dairy but nothing like it used to be. I’m on month 3 now with similar results each month. This product is life altering for those of us who had to avoid dairy to survive. 10 stars!!

I’ve used these for two months now, and they actually work! I don’t have to take any other meds and can eat dairy for three weeks straight without any issues! It’s fantastic!

I wondered why the directions were like taking birth control, 7 days vs. the rest of the month. I now assume it's because of the bloat. I've taken probiotics before but damn. I feel better just laying off dairy. I tried taking 1 a day or 1 every other day but still felt terrible. I do think it helped after I took it. I didn't dare take a drink of milk but ate more cheese than I usually do and never took a lactose pill. I still get verrrry stinky and had light gas pains but nothing like the gas pains when I have dairy without lactase pills. I was never sent straight to the toilet, so I'd be even more cautious to those that have those worse symptoms. Tldr: worth a shot but not a magical cure.

I cannot digest lactose at all....literally. I was skeptical that it could help me. This product is a game changer. I followed the directions. I haven't had ice cream or regular milk (because I don't like it), but I've had plenty of cheese and other dairy-containing foods. I've not had any problems. For me, this product is a game changer. I wish it as a little cheaper. Right now, it's cheaper to buy and use lactase tablets.
