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 am now 60 and have had this problem for 8 years now,A first i gave up all dairy and found goats milk (fetta) was so expensive to have all the time.I have slowly added some dairy into my diet,like tasty cheese,blue cheese,ice cream but in small amounts.If i have a cheese and salad sandwich for lunch, i do not have cheese for the rest of the day(other wise i sit on the loo for hours).Only buy lactose free milk and yogurt and you will be ok.If you like cappaccino's you can have 1 (one) skinny cup, not a mug ,per day and you should be ok all the best, George
