I've just found out I'm lactose intolerant (after years of symptoms it's great to finally find out what is wrong). It means though that I have to stop buying dairy products - does anyone else have this problem and does it affect your lifestyle?

I'm Lactose intolerant, and have been for over 20 years. I have Soy Milk in my tea and coffee and have got used to all the soy products, ie: yoghurt etc. It's no great problem, just takes a bit of adjusting. With all the lactose free products on the supermarket shelves at present you have a lot more choices.
I must confess I occasionally have a skim milk iced coffee, but not very often, and I really notice the difference to my stomach for a few hours after.
