Summary
Details

One day, pizza is comfort. The next, it's betrayal.

For millions of adults, lactose intolerance sneaks in during the 30s, 40s, or 50s-turning beloved foods into digestive minefields. Late Bloomer, Sour Stomach: Navigating Lactose Intolerance in Your 40s and Beyond is the essential survival manual for anyone suddenly betrayed by ice cream.

Author Dustin Gross combines clear science, practical strategies, and a healthy dose of humor to make sense of what's happening inside your gut-and what you can do about it. This isn't a doom-and-gloom medical pamphlet or a simplistic ""just cut dairy"" command. It's a compassionate, plain-English companion that explains:

Why your body suddenly rejects dairy after decades of loyalty. How to tell lactose intolerance from IBS, celiac disease, or other digestive issues. What tests confirm the diagnosis (and which ones waste your time). Survival skills for reading food labels, navigating restaurants, and grocery shopping. The truth about lactase supplements, probiotics, and emerging therapies. How to protect bone health and nutrition while cutting back on dairy. Emotional tools for handling frustration, embarrassment, and food grief.

Packed with real-life stories, practical checklists, and strategies you can actually use, this book helps you move from denial to adaptation-without losing the joy of eating.

Because a lactose-free future doesn't mean a joy-free one. It just means writing a new menu for your life-one that keeps your gut, bones, and spirit strong.

Perfect for anyone in midlife wondering, ""Why now?""-and ready for answers.
