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've been lactose intolerant since i was born.
there are lacteeze tablets that you can get from the chemist that reduce the symptoms of it.
however they just weren't working for me..
after investigation it ends up im also slightly intolerant to the protein in dairy as well. so i cut it out completely. i didnt want to look like i was pregnant and feel uncomfortable all the time.
i dont really miss things like chocolate anymore and never drunk milk so just stuff like cheese is hardest. but in all honestly, it hasn't been that hard.. you end up just not missing it after a while
