Yes. The enzyme lactase becomes deficient if it is not used for an extended period of time. This causes one to become lactose intolerant.

Are you born lactose intolerant?
No, not all humans are lactose intolerant. If you can ingest any dairy products, such as milk or cheese, you're not lactose intolerant.
What is the life expectancy for people who are lactose intolerant?
Im lactose intolerant but I suppose over 4 years? Not sure but Ive been like this for like 3 and a half years? And when your lactose intolerant, you cannot have any dairy product but lactose milk can cure sooner. And probably a few years later you don't feel like not having cheese anymore. So you eat it. And you might get sick a little but its alright. I lose weight almost everyday while being lactose intolerant (Sometimes) But since Im lactose intolerant I started to learn more about it since Im going through it!
Why is the digestion of milk affected by lactose found in the stomach?
Are you talking about lactose intolerance? If so, people are lactose intolerant because they do not have the enzyme lactase that is use to digest the lactose. The gene that codes for the lactase cease to be express when they get older . Other people keep expressing the gene for their entire life.

Can lactose make us sick?
Lactose is a sugar found in milk. In healthy adults it is generally not a problem, however if someone is lactose intolerant it can cause discomfort and bloating. If a person has some forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) lactose can be quite irritating and painful. Most Americans lose the ability to efficiently digest lactose in adulthood. However, those from certain backgrounds retain this ability for most if not all of their life.

Can milk really stop the affects of poisoning in real life and I don't mean Minecraft?
No it can't. While milk can be soothing to the tummy for those lucky enough not to be lactose intolerant, it's really no more than a nutrient.
Can you live with lactose intolerance?
Yes. Lactose intolerance is a condition marked by the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and milk products. Eating or drinking lactose-containing foods and drinks is not life-threatening, but can produce abdominal cramping, bloating, and diarrhea. The degree of these symptoms is highly variable, and depends in part upon the extent of impairment of an individual's ability to digest lactose. Those that have a mild deficiency in digesting lactose might have no symptoms or only mild symptoms; those with complete inability to absorb lactose might be at the other end of the spectrum with severe cramping, bloating, and diarrhea. In either case, avoiding lactose (eg, by eating rice-based cheeses instead of milk-based cheeses, drinking lactose-free milk products) or supplementing the diet with pills containing lactase (the enzyme lacking in lactose-intolerant individuals) often affords much relief.
When should children stop drinking milk?
It depends on when they become vegan. Some kids never drink milk (vegan from birth or lactose intolerant or allergies or whatever). Human milk is important for growth, so it really should be consumed for the first few years of life. After that, just make sure the child has other sources of calcium in their diet, if they no longer drink milk.
What causes the symptoms of lactose intolerance?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose. Lactose intolerance happens when the small intestine does not make enough of the enzyme lactase. Enzymes help the body absorb foods. Not having enough lactase is called lactase deficiency.
