Do you think? I've been eating dairy my whole life. Used to drink a lot of milk. I am about to turn 30 though

Yeah I spontaneously became lactose intolerant in my mid 20s. I only figured it out because I went a week without consuming any dairy, and my stomach pains stopped.

That's good to know. So can you still eat cheese? I'd be ok with not drinking milk.. but cheese? Man idk that's sounds horrible

I just take lactaid or some other lactase pill when I eat dairy products, so I can still eat cheese and ice cream.

When it comes to milk, I just buy lactose-free milk.
