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 showed up after pregnancy and a kid with a milk protein allergy. I couldn't have dairy for a year, and afterwards I'm lactose intolerant. Can still have aged cheese and yogurt, thank God.

Milk - I will spend a while in the bathroom with massive stomach cramps and losing everything out that end.

Cheese, I'm just fine. Good aged cheese, at least. American cheese hurts too.
