Ok, pet peeve here. Lactose Intolerance. Contrary to public opinion (thanks to those damned drug commercials), lactose intolerance won’t hinder one’s ability to eat cheese. Why? Because cheese has the same enzyme those handy-dandy pills have in them, Lactase. If you’re having trouble with cheese, it’s because of something else. So quit self diagnosing! The process to make cheese also produces that enzyme to digest lactose. So yes, milk and some ice creams will cause problems, runny cheese might, american and chedder won’t.
