When was the last time you filled your gas tank, or did groceries or paid your utility bill? The cost of everything seems to have made a noticeable jump. This year my wife and I decided to set a night aside shortly after Christmas to prepare a yearly budget. I really hadn’t noticed until we sat down to do this budget just how much I spent a year on my lactose intolerance.
If I bought the name brand Extra Strength Lactase Digestive Enzyme Pills it normally cost me about $23 to $25 for 40 pills. I was always on the look out for specials but rarely did these pills go on sale. So most of the time I was stuck with the more expensive name brand which I popped like pez and you know what! I still had gas but no lengthy bathroom visits so the pills were necessary. I think it would have been cheaper for me to buy stock in the company, I would probably be a part owner by now.
So like I said I was gobbling these pills down at least 2 before each meal. Now of course I didn’t eat dairy with every meal so to be on the conservative side lets say I used an average of four pills per day times 7 days a week that worked out to 28 pills a week. Multiply that by fifty-two weeks and it added up to a grand total of 1456 at $.63 per pill. I was out of pocket a little over $ 900.00 in lactose pills not to mention the added expense of lactose free milk, lactose free cheese and other lactose free foods. So I would estimate well over $1000 a year was spent to keep me out of the bathroom. I really hate to write this but when I did the math I felt my wallet squirm. The sad truth is that I have been lactose intolerant for close to 15 years, that’s a little under $15,000.00 not including interest.
That is simply a crazy amount of money to spend on something that only eased the symptoms but never solved my lactose intolerance problem. I decided to put on my best researching cap and dove head first into the Internet with the thought that someone somewhere on this planet had come up with a solution to lactose intolerance. Maybe some research scientist developed a solution but simply didn’t have the money to market the product or perhaps some at home mom who fell into a discovery that this and that mixed together allowed her to once again enjoy dairy. I didn’t know but figured I would make it my quest to find out! I began reading everything I could get my eyes on.
I read medical journals, I read websites I read forums and then eureka! I had found it. The product’s name is Lactagen and they created a proprietary blend of natural minerals and sugars which when taken over a 38 day period was guaranteed to solve your lactose intolerance.
After reading through the information I was so impressed that I had to share my newfound discovery with the world. How many people out there were suffering from lactose intolerance and didn’t even realize that for the cost of about a two months supply of those pills and after following a simple 38-day program you could not only be enjoying dairy but reaping the rewards of ingesting the calcium which is a key component to making your bones strong and healthy. Throw in a 100% money back guarantee and you simply cannot afford not to try it. You can continue shovelling those pills into you by the handful or try something different to change your body and your life forever.
My wife and I have decided to put the money we are saving by not having to purchase those pills anymore into a vacation fund and have already started planning our trip somewhere warm next winter. I don’t know about you but I believe a lot better use for our hard earned money rather than flushing it down the toilet.
