I became lactose intolerant a little over a year ago and it made eating dairy products difficult. I have to take lactase pills. I do my best to limit my dairy intake by replacing dairy products with soy milk, soy yogurt, and vegan butters derived from cashew milk and oat milk. But one thing I cannot replace is cheese since vegan cheeses also upset my stomach (all the coconut oil and starches and xanthan gum). Since hard and semi-hard cheese are low or even absent of lactose, most cheeses are pretty safe, but to be extra careful I try to find "lactose free" cheeses that have the lactase enzymes added. I also found that I digest goat's milk based cheeses a lot easier than cow's milk cheeses.
