The same as my friend. She likes cheese, but can't eat too much. Also lactose intolerant.
I actually realized only recently that I'm lactose intolerant. Obviously is very mild.
I was very lactose intolerant (apparently) when I was a baby, but I seemed to have grown out of it. Relatively recently (like, last several years) I noticed I was having stomach issues. I particularly noticed any cream based things (so like cakes with whipped cream on it) would absolutely destroy me. I assumed it was either the consistency or the sugar or whatever. I never assumed lactose intolerance because I could drink milk with no problems.
But then I started noticing problems after ingesting milk. And that's when I finally connected the dots and realized that I had become lactose intolerant again. I don't avoid dairy entirely (I still eat pizza for example), but I do avoid specific things now - cream based ice creams ("ice milk" like Dairy Queen seems fine) and milk are the two big ones, and everything else I eat in moderation.
Yeah. My friend can have dairy. And does eat some dairy products. But not a lot. Just a little here and there... ---
