- How much have you even contributed to this "shitty" community?

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.
  
  Also might be worth looking into products made from A2A2 milk. My friends are lactose intolerant and they can drink and eat products made from A2A2 without pills or any problem.
- 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.

- Tryptophane uptake is also inhibited so it could cause serious depressive issues.

Same. Just need to make sure I don't need to leave the house the next day.
- Yep. I‘ll eat mac and cheese, but just let me check this week’s schedule.

Lactose intolerance is the norm for humans. Somehow this doesn't get communicated since practically no one knows it. Up until somewhat recently all humans were lactose intolerant. Iirc tolerance started with starving Europeans making full use of cows a few thousand years ago, then over time people became able to tolerate it.
Experts estimate that about 68 percent of the world’s population has lactose malabsorption.

All that to say yeah, it's a very common condition and most people who have it probably still eat lactose as it's not all that bad to get the shits. Come on, it's cheese and ice cream we're talking about here. And pizza. Even if the consequences were awful, humans are also pretty good at ignoring consequences when deciding if they want something they really like
- But how are those percentages distributed globally? If the 32% mostly resides within middle/west europe and american continents with a minority in Asia it totally makes sense why we have that understanding in the west.
  
  Not everyone in the West is fully European, but even if they were, a significant portion of even those people are lactose intolerant. I mentioned the global stat 1) because it was available 2) to illustrate the point that just because we evolved something recently doesn't make it the standard way for a person to be.
- Lactase persistence has actually evolved around a dozen times independently. Most of the genes originated in Africa, but the one Europeans have evolved in the Indus valley area before the Indo-aryan people migrated to Europe.

My mother, who is lactose intolerant and offered something with dairy, usually says, "I won't regret it, but you will."

Last night at the grocery store I saw 2 for $1 small hass avocados and nearly fell over dead. I am now retired, independently wealthy, and bought 4 homes. 3 to live in and 1 to rent to the suckers who missed the deal.
