Dear god, reading half of those responses made my brain hurt! Well the answer is, you may become Lactose Intollerant at any time in your life!. It is NOT an allergy like most people think, its just when an enzyme is not there or lacking!. So it can't break down a sugar (lactase) that is found in most dairy products!. So yes, the enzymes can disappear for a number of reasons!. To be honest humans aren't really made to cosume cows milk!. So about 70-75 of the worlds population are actually lactose intollerant!. If you must eat/drink cows milk you can try to take LACTAID, which has the enzyme in it and can break down the lactase in whatever you plan on eating :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
You can develop lactose intolerance, but it's best to talk to a doctor!.
Adults are not really meant to drink milk, it's to hard for our stomach to break down!. As a baby we have acids in our stomach that can cope and actually accept milk very well, but as we grow these acids disappear, leaving the person lactose intolerant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This started happening to me about 2 years ago and thankfully doesn't happen when I have cheese or ice cream (which I would probably die without haha)!. You could have a sensitivity to milk!. That's what my lactose intolerant friends said!. Maybe in your case it can develop into intolerance!. But there is always lactose free milk, cheeses, even ice cream if that happens!. I stick to soy milk, which I actually like more than regular milk!. So it's not so bad!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
That definitely sounds like a lactose intolerance to me!. You can develop an allergy at any age and it can appear quite suddenly!. Like most people affected by a lactose allergy, I've had it since I was an infant!. Doesn't it suck!?!?! I still love ice cream and cheese, but get the very symptoms you're describing!.!.!.!.PLUS stomach/abdominal bloating and sometimes nausea!.
To be sure, you'll probably want to be tested!. Here are a few great sites to get further information:

it could mean that you are lactose intolerant!. the only way you'll definitely know is if you ask your doctor!. sometimes you arent born being lactose intolerant and it just comes on suddenly, it can also do the alternative: just stop suddenly!.I suggest you go to the doctor to see and stay away from dairy until you get it checked outWww@Answer-Health@Com
The same thing happened to my sister, she went to the doctor because it was horrible!. They told her she was lactose intolerant!. Like you, it had never been a problem before!. I would go to the doctor to make sure thats it, but it sounds just like my sister's case!.
Good luck, I hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
