I wonder if you didn't randomly gain a milk protein allergy instead of lactose intolerance. Generally if someone's lactose intolerant, just taking some lactase should help (as long as the dose is taken as directed & is high enough) since it breaks down the lactose to simpler sugars.
Lactase wouldn't do squat for someone with a milk protein allergy, though.
This is certainly possible. I've never seen any kind of medical professional about this issue, I just started getting really sick all the time and experimented with my diet until I singled out dairy as the thing that was making me sick. At this point I've got it well enough under control and I've changed my eating habits to the point that I dont think anything would change for me if I learned I had an allergy as opposed to an intolerance
Yeah I wonder if this might be a whey allergy or something.
