can you develop lactose intolerance suddenly
Itâs possible. Most people experience a gradual decline of lactase (the enzyme that helps your body digest milk products) activity as they age. If dairy isnât sitting with you as well as it used to, try this self-test: Stop consuming dairy products for five days, and on the sixth day, drink a glass of milk. If your symptoms resolve during the dairy-free days and return when dairy is reintroduced, you most likely have developed lactose intolerance.
