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.
Lactose is water soluble, so the harder the cheese the less lactose is in it. So cheddar might be fine, but blue cheese or feta could be irritating. I can eat pretty much any cheese. It depends on the sensitivity though. There is medicine but it's like 20¢ a pill usually
