Breakfast suggestions? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I'm an Indian guy in my twenties, living in US. I used to have cornflakes and the like for breakfast, but recently I turned lactose intolerant. I hate cornflakes without the milk.

There are a lot of breakfast options coming from my culture, but I need something that doesn't take time to make. I'm a lazy bum and can barely make it in time to my university as it is. If anyone has ideas, please let me know.

I can have a bit of milk. But I have it with coffee, and any more than that gives me gas. I'll talk to my doctor about lactase pills, thank you for letting me know.

My pleasure! And unless the rules are different where you live, you don't need to see a doctor or get a prescription. Here (Belgium) you can easily get them from pharmacies or online.

It's same in the US too. Lactose pills are classified as "over the counter" (no Rx needed). Lactaid makes them and a generic version is usually available too.

It's over the counter here, so I don't NEED to see a doctor. But my doctor is a friend, so doesn't hurt to consult for free.
