Dairy Intolernce-Later in life?

Question

Can you get a dairy intolerance at any point in life? I’m in my 20s and my stomach has been HORRIBLE  for months, I haven’t been able to figure out what or why. 
I just ate a bowl of cereal, felt fine before it, now am having HORRIBLE stomach cramps, that feel like I’m about to have diarrhea. 
This happens a lot  but with bigger meals and haven’t been able to pinpoint what caused it. 
How do I go about testing to see if it is dairy?

Answer

Yes, I had to stop drinking milky drinks in my mid 20s. Cheese and ice cream have always been fine - but milk drinks hit me hard.

Answer

Absolutely. This is usually qhat happens actually. Your body just gives up and stops producing lactase ( as it is genetically programmed to do). It really hit me when I was about 21.

Answer

Yes you can. Many people develop lactose intolerance as they age. There’s really no reliable test for it. Just monitor symptoms after eating vs eliminating.

Answer

I had this happen to me earlier this year. I switched the lactose free milk & it made a giant difference. If I’m going to eat ice cream or anything with a ton of dairy I just take lactaid first. I can still get away with eating a little cheese or a bite of something without any issues
