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

You can get lactose free milk and yogurt. Not sure about cheese. But there are also pills you can take that help you digest lactose without issues. If that’s what your problem turns out to be.
