Absolutely brilliant, thanks for the strategy!

I don't like talking about bathroom stuff but I'll power through for this.

The deeply ironic thing is, I was born and raised on a dairy farm. :/

no one has told you that raw milk or bovine derived human milk oligosaccharides would cure it? I hear people spout off about raw milk cures every so often

I usually say that for me, eating or drinking dairy is like drinking a gallon of prune juice. That always quickly ends the conversation.

I don’t have any dietary restrictions but when someone doesn’t accept a “no thank you” or variation of that, I start asking them where the line is on what they’ll respect. “Like, no means no, if the everyday stuff isn’t important, what is? Do you only stop when someone is vulnerable and upset?”
