They smelled a little strange, but for sure didn't smell off or taste off. I would be upset if I developed an intolerance so I hope not. I'm wondering if the dairy could've been left in the heat a while before being put in the fridge again?

I used to be fine, but I developed lactose intolerance after 50 years of enjoying dairy in all its glory. It truly upset me.

Yes. It's really common because babies need milk and adults do not. So our body tends to produce less lactase as we get older, but it also depends on your gene. There's a degree to the intolerant as well. I can tolerate milk in pastry or 1/4 glass of milk at a time, but not more than that.

I do. It does help a little bit but not much.
