Lactose intolerance is a common disorder and is due to the inability to digest lactose into its constituents, glucose and galactose, secondary to low levels of lactase enzyme in the brush border of the duodenum. Lactase deficiency is the most common form of disaccharidase deficiency. Enzyme levels are highest shortly after birth and decline with aging, despite a continued intake of lactose. Within the animal world, nonhuman mammals usually lose the ability to digest lactose as they reach adulthood.
It sounds like your lactose intolerance has gotten worse. Try lactase enzyme tablets before you eat anything containing dairy. You could also get 100% lactose free milk.
if you only feel sick after you consume a dairy product, you could be......are you pregnant?
