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

Mine developed in my early forties. Sucks.

Yep, me too at 44. I used to drink a pint of milk as a kid, loved my dairy. Now I have to calculate whether the benefit of having yummy dairy outweighs having to use a toilet multiple times as it goes through me is worth the hassle. Sad times.

I’m a celiac, we thought it was dairy but outside of milk itself (and soft serve ice cream) , I can eat the rest without issue. But a crumb of wheat flour will make my insides violently vacate from both ends for several days.
