Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

For me I found it wasn't the lactose, but the amount of fat in the milk that gave me the rumblies. Eating certain dishes with a lots of fat gave me the same sort of feeling.
I'll keep an eye out for that. I am trying to put on weight so I do end up eating a lot of fat. Maybe I switch them out for more carbs.
Best of luck to you!
I've tried a few different diets for the opposite reason.
Fat alone makes me feel stuffed and not wanting to eat enough.
Carbs+fat makes it really easy for me to eat too much.
Nice. Good luck!
I seem to recall that fat intake is not as "fattening" as carb intake. Both the carbs and fat you eat are used for energy first, which means that your body has to process the fats into carbs first - which takes energy itself. The surplus of either is converted and stored as fat.
Carbs also have to be broken down in to sugars. It's just a lot easier to do than with fat. Ketosis is a bit more complicated than just lopping off glucose from large chains.
The problem with too much fat in a diet is that is screws with your cardio system by gunking it up. (greatly simplifying of course but meh, lazy today)
Look into bile acid malabsorption (BAM). It's surprisingly common. In the U.S. you don't commonly use the SeHCAT machines so they prescribe cholestyramine and see if it helps. Give it a go. Very few side effects and you have a lot to gain if it works. Plus if you take it long term you actually reduce your cholesterol levels.
Yes, I was going to say generally milk labeled as lactose-free really shouldn’t have any noticeable amounts of lactose in it, so if someone’s still having trouble then lactose might not be the cause. I have heard relatively recently about something called A2 milk that doesn’t have an A1 protein which is found primarily in cow’s milk but not in as many other mammalian milk, including not in human milk. It looks like it might help some people for whom lactose-free cow’s milk still doesn’t solve digestion issues, but the evidence might not be very conclusive. I haven’t tried it myself; lactose-free works for me.
i have ibs so it makes those things more intense for me, i get the same thing with milk, plus i think im mildly lactose intolerant. something like "flavoured" milk doesnt cause a reaction though,
High fat diets can help facilitate LPS (a bad, fat-soluble, inflammatory molecule) from gram negative bacteria in the gut into the bloodstream which can heighten systemic inflammation (endotoxemia). I feel as though that's a common issue these days that not many people may know about.
