How I found out I was lactose intolerant
Years before I started DairyPill, I was sitting at my desk, bloated and uncomfortable, waiting for my coworker to walk away so I could finally get some relief. I'm Steve Page, and that's the moment I realized I was lactose intolerant.
I grew up in a Swiss American family, which meant cheese and chocolate everywhere. And there I was, the only one who couldn't live up to the family heritage.
Living around dairy didn't work
I tried cutting out dairy, but it made going out with friends and family hard, and I hated being the difficult one. So I kept eating it and sucked it up.
I tried Lactaid pills too. They barely worked for me. I had to take three, four, five pills before I felt anything, and I never remembered to bring them. Worst of all, it was embarrassing. I'd hide my pills under the table and hope no one made a comment about why I couldn't eat dairy.
How the idea for DairyPill started
A few years later, I left my engineering job and wasn't sure what to do next. Then my brother asked me about the lactase pills I always needed, and that question changed everything.
He was right. I was tired of taking a handful of pills with every meal, leaving them at home and hiding them under the table. So I started asking myself:
Why couldn't a lactase pill be stronger, more convenient and less embarrassing to take?
I realized it was up to me to make one. That same night, I bought the domain dairypill.com.
Building a stronger lactase pill
That was the start of a multi-year journey to design a better lactose intolerance pill: one that's powerful, always with you, and comes in planet-friendly packaging, because the planet deserves better.
We set out to fit as much lactase as possible into one small pill. Sixty manufacturers told me it couldn't be done. After many rounds of test batches, we made it work. The result is a pill built for strength and portability, and I'm proud of what we make today.
