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?

Hi! I am allergic to lactose AND casien so cannot even drink lactose free milk or cheese (Liddels farm / zymil) and I really dislike soy haha. Despite this I really find no changes to lifestyle other than i have to be careful to check things aren't cooked in butter and ask for no dairy etc on food. I have found people and restaurants are very accommodating and often find solutions if you just speak up and let them know you have an allergy. I eat out a fair bit due to travel for work but have rarely come across a situation that I couldn't navigate :)
