I try to avoid milk products and lactose as much as humanly possible, mainly because they make me bloat up and give me gas and sometimes make my D worse. Some people are lactose intolerant, and some people can't eat any dairy even if they are not lactose intolerant, as dairy just upsets their stomachs.
Now, whether that is specific to lactose itself, I can't remember. I just know that I avoid dairy as much as possible, although sometimes some does sneak in.
I do take a calcium carbonate tablet every day to help make up for any that I might be missing through my non-dairy stance (as opposed to calcium citrate...I can't take ANY supplement with citrate in it).
Sometimes the best thing to do, IMO, is try a little and see if you do okay with it. Some people can handle a bite or two and some can't even handle the thought of dairy.
Probably didn't help much but I tried.
