how do you all of a sudden become lactose intolerant?

I became lactose intolerant like 5 years ago (25yo) and I also wonder why the fuck all of a sudden my body changed like that; and for everybody seems to be the same way; one day you are drinking milk and dairy like always, and next day everything changes...

 

[MR. BMJ]

newsflash...every human is technically lactose intolerant. As adults, we do not have the ezymes to break up lactose. Just some people feel the effects more than others.
My Gastro told me, milk is for babies. We are the only adult mammals that drink milk. You will not see any full grown mammal other than humans take dairy.
Soy milk or almond milk is a great alternative.

....better stop this one before it gets out of hand.....

The anti-milk propaganda machine loves to downplay the intelligence and ingenuity of the human species. We are the only animals to build machines, utilize mathematical equations, split the atom, etc. Should we go back to hunting and gathering days, since that is what animals do? Also, this idea that we are the only species to drink the milk of another animal is horseshit. Have you never witnessed a mother dog or cat, nurse an abandoned infant of another species? Also, some species of ants domesticate aphids for a milky exudate that they secrete. Don't downplay the miracle of the the human body. We have evolved to produce our own enzymes capable of digesting and utilizing numerous foods, vitamins, minerals, etc. Lactose intolerance is mainly found in countries where cattle farming and milk consumption has been historically low, this is an evolutionary trait.

If we were all lactose intolerant from birth, then everybody would be shitting themselves. I don't have lactose intolerance...I can drink a big glass of milk without shitting my guts out, unlike those with true lactase deficiency (which is again, because THEY don't produce lactase).

Where in nature does the Twinkie live? Thank God, Captain Crunch discovered those long lost species of Crunch Berries.

...my suggestion is to get another gastroenterologist.

other mammals don't eat peanut butter sandwitches and chocolate chip cookies, or they would suck tit too

good point.

Did you read what I wrote? Once an animal is weaned off of milk, they do not go back and drink it. Has nothing to do with a mother cat feeding an abandoned kitten.
Our brains have NOTHING to do with out digestive systems. Because we have a higher intelligence than animals (well some humans any ways) this changes our digestion is some way? Please enlighten me?

We can get calcium from MANY sources other than dairy. You obviously lack knowledge of nutrition.
Are you a doctor? Have you studied the human digestive tracked? Probably not, so you have no data to even say "We have evolved to produce our own enzymes capable of digesting and utilizing numerous foods, vitamins, minerals, etc. Lactose intolerance is mainly found in countries where cattle farming and milk consumption has been historically low, this is an evolutionary trait"
My gastro helped save me from horrid stomach troubles....I think I'll keep him, but thanks for the suggestion. Maybe you're available to treat me?! ;-)

Yeah and they are a lot healthier than humans

don't use that as an excuse.

I eat very healthy 80% of the time. I could eat fast food all day. I choose not to.

Just finished up my egg beaters and oats

don't you smoke?

anyway, it is generally true that humans are lactose intolerant or rather become that way over time. however that doesn't mean that all humans must become intolerant suddenly one day. how come i can put down a gallon of whole milk a day without getting the runs? not to say that everyone can do it - i know guys who are younger than me who can't.

you do also realise you are recommending soy milk to men - i'd rather not risk the potential estrogen spike (i'm still not sure whether they have proved it conclusively, but i'm not about to take the risk). whenever i find i'm finding it difficult to digest whole milk i will use lactaid.

yes unfortunatly I do smoke. I am not a heavy smoker (3 a day). I guess we all have our vises. We all have something we do that's not so good for us.
I also recommended almond milk. Low intake of soy products will not cause hormone spikes.
