My lactose intolerant started as an adult and I don't know what caused it but I just got to deal with it still and if I eat something wrong I just get really sick. I did not have to deal with my lactose intolerant problem as a child but now I have been dealing with it for several years.

My lactose intolerance started when I was a teenager. Mine was hereditary.
