Anyone develop Lactose Intolerance latter in life?

[KMFJD]

Fermented yogurt has cured all of my gut issues, tried lactaid etc and it's the only one that's worked, and tastes pretty darn good

There might be probiotic bacteria in raw milk as there is in yogurt.

And whatever the mechanism, I don't think it's a placebo effect.
I don't know that placebos are able to convince my brain to tell my guts to conjure up a substantial pressure head of gas and awful.

OP, like I wrote before, you should really do a test. Just because you feel bloated after eating ice-cream does not mean you are lactose-intolerant. It could be something else. Doing a few tests of your own will prove nothing. It could be that you got worse at digesting fat. It could be an intolerance for another form of sugar, not just milk-sugar (=lactose). Do a test, be sure what's going on. Then move from there. You could waste years of your life, if you are searching in the wrong direction.

Or it may just be wishful thinking.

CONCLUSIONS Raw milk failed to reduce lactose malabsorption or lactose intolerance symptoms compared with pasteurized milk among adults positive for lactose malabsorption. These results do not support widespread anecdotal claims that raw milk reduces the symptoms of lactose intolerance.

Now, this is a small study, but its results are not at all surprising. As mentioned, raw milk is full of lactose. However, raw milk advocates say all sorts of things which are simply untrue. The bottom line is that the health risks of raw milk far outweigh the benefits of raw milk, and reduced lactose intolerance from raw milk isn't even one of the benefits.

Yep, around 21 or 22.

2 cups of milk + cereal gives me gas culminating in lovely diarrhea. I used to eat that nearly every day when I was 18/19 in college.

No problems with cheese/yogurt/ice cream, dunno why.

Edit: I drank a cup of milk every morning when I was in elementary through middle school fwiw

developed in my early 20's.

growing up, living at home with my parents, cereal with whole milk for breakfast and a glass of milk with dinner was a common occurrence... when I went away to college and actually got to chose what I ate, I stopped consuming pretty much any milk product.

discovered the hard way a few years later that eating more than a spoonful of ice cream makes me want to die.

Most cheeses have a lot less lactose. Some have almost none. As for yogurt, you usually don't eat a whole cup of yogurt, and many yogurts have less lactose anyway. Furthermore, they're full of bacteria that digest lactose. Ice cream on a cup for cup basis may also have less lactose than milk, but it depends on how much ice cream you eat.

So for me, I can drink half a cup of milk with no problem. Similarly I can eat a 100 g container of yogurt no problem. Half a cup of ice cream isn't usually a problem either.

But if I drink two cups of milk, major problem.
