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 have been lactose intolerant for 50 years and it has not been a big issue especially in recent times.
Today there are plenty of lactose free dairy products available in both the fresh and longlife counters. Some cafe's also offer the lactose free milk option too.
The great advantage is that anyone can drink the lactose free milk.
If you are going to a hotel let them know and they will either supply it for you or allow you to take your own.
If going to a friends just let them know and offer to take an alternative to their menu if required
