Yep! For me it's ...gastrointestinal distress haha. Some things are worth it though.

Mildly. Cheese and ice cream in moderation I'm fine. Glass of milk I get really bloated and uncomfortable. Then gassy. It's super attractive. It actually seems to be much less sensitive ever since I was pregnant.

I don't think so, I eat cheese/cream products just fine. I just hate milk anyway so I don't drink much of it!

Mildly. Sometimes I'm fine, sometimes my stomach hurts right after having some dairy (usually ice cream ) and I run to the bathroom.

I don't think so. I know if I don't drink milk for a lil while and drink it again, I'll have to go to the bathroom, but the next day, I'm okay with drinking milk.

@Mrs. Oatmeal: ha! I reintroduced regular milk to LO 2 and she developed a rash 20ish mins later and had the runs for the rest of the day.

I was severely lactose intolerant from grade 5...one spoonful of ice cream was 3 hours of stomach cramp/bathroom emergencies. I overcame it, though, during pregnancy!

Mildly intolerant. I can eat as much cheese and yogurt as I want, but NO milk or ice cream - Like @Mrs. Oatmeal: said, gastrointestinal distress!! Haha
I will still let myself occasionally have ice cream and suffer the consequences though. It does help with portion control though - I know better than to indulge in more than 1 or 2 scoops!

I can eat cheese no problem as long as it's not on an empty stomach. Same with ice cream. But if it's the only thing I eat i will suffer a lot. If I have milk or yogurt or soft serve I have severe gastrointestinal distress...like crying from the pain and almost passing out at times...it's about as bad as going into labor for me..the cramping is so bad it leaves me in tears. I'm on the porcelain throne for hours...it's not pretty.

My dad is. It upsets his stomach terribly if he has anything. He found some pills that help him digest dairy and he's usually ok if he takes those before eating dairy.

Extremely. I can't even have processed/powdered cheeses without getting extreme digestive upset (like Cheezits or Doritos). Lactaid is my best friend. Lol

For those of you who are lactose intolerant....when did you find out? Childhood or much later?

For this pregnancy, I am. I can't do regular milk without issues. I've drinking almond milk since I figured it out.

My mild LI has gotten worse over the last few years, since my mid 20s!

I am. I get intense pains in my stomach and I get really bloated and gassy. It also makes me feel exhausted and my skin breaks out.
I can eat certain cheeses, but in moderation. I can never have milk, cream, or ice cream. I was lactose intolerant as a baby and didn't really think of it as a child because I knew I didn't like milk or ice cream. Then as an adult when I started getting lattes it really came out.

Mildly. I'm fine with a moderate amount of cheese, yogurt, or ice cream (not all three in one day though, yikes). But plain old milk makes me very sick and always has. Both my mom and MIL are lactose-intolerant, with worse reactions than me, and J was horribly allergic -like, projectile vomiting from anything even laced with dairy - until 14 months. He can handle some dairy now, but it still does tend to give him runny diapers. And he only drinks chocolate milk, not regular.
@autumnlove: I guess childhood - my mom told me as soon as I self-weaned from EBF at 1, I flat out refused milk. She just gave me juice and water and didn't push it. So I've always avoided it. But I only recognized the correlation between eating a lot of other dairy products and gas/bloating/discomfort within the past few years. Also, I've always had terrible skin, and I'm pretty sure if I cut out dairy it would improve. I've heard that's a common "cure."

It started in my 20s! My doctor said its common for asian women to develop it later on

I was as a young teenager (between 12-16 or so). I would get major stomach cramping and, um, spend a lot of time in the bathroom. I grew out of it though, I think eating yogurt regularly helped.
