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?

Some medications also have lactose in them so ask your pharmacy to check prescriptions before they are processed. Some of them just have in the coating.
I had to check one of mine that has coating on it for sugar. Some do and some don't. The Pharmacist also checked lactose at the same time. as I have a slight allergy to it. The Pharmacist looked it up in a reference book.
