Intolerance doesn't kill people..why do people.always seem so shocked when people still want dairy when they just get upset stomachs and wanna shit after..makes no sense to question it.

    "Wanna shit" is a bit of an understatement for what happens, but yeah, just take a 9000 unit lactase pill every 30 minutes while consuming it and you'll be fine. Or maybe two pills if you're eating a LOT of cheese.

    Ripened cheese (eg cheddar, Emmental, Monterey Jack, Parmesan, Brie…) usually does not have any significant amount of lactose left. The ripening process gets rid of it. If you are lactose intolerant you just need to avoid fake/processed „cheese“ and fresh cheeses (eg mozzarella, ricotta, cream cheese). That said, taking lactase pills when it’s not necessary will not hurt you, just your wallet.

    Interestingly parmesan in any quantity over a couple of grams still messes me up, it really depends on the person

    Also be aware that lactose intolerance is not the same thing as lactose allergy. There's no pill that can help with the latter and milk can fuck you up for several days. So it's not ”just and upset tummy”. It's much more complicated than that and some people, though they are only intolerant, the pills still don't help them at all. Fox example, people with diverticulitis, the pills will not help, the colon will still be gravely upset.
