Has anyone out there tried the lactase drops to combat the diahhrea side effects from Tykerb? I've tried the lactase tablets- which don't work, and I'm getting sick of soy or other milk alternatives. I broke down and bought some Lactaid milk AND LOVED IT, but it is so expensive. I'd like to use the lactase drops to "pre-treat" my milk so that I can enjoy cow milk again.
Any suggestions????
