Yes. Lactose intolerance is a phenomena of the digestive system. Just because you have milk in the mammeries has no bearing on what happens to milk in the intestines. The same argument goes for lactose intolerant (human) mothers.

∙ 14y agoYes. Your body naturally stops producing the enzyme that breaks down lactose as you age which can (but not always) produce a lactose intolerance in teens and adults and the elderly. It really depends on the individual as to how much lactose you can handle. Plus certain antibiotics or tummy bugs can upset the balance in the intestines and cause a temporary lactose intolerance which can clear up in a few days or weeks if you stop dairy products.

∙ 12y agoLactose intolerance is a digestive disorder common to dogs. Lactose, the sugar found in milk is composed of glucose and galactose. So that the body would benefit from lactose it has to be absorbed by the body from the intestines. This process will only be possible if lactose was split into glucose and galactose. Lactase is the enzyme necessary to split lactose into these two smaller sugars. As dogs do not have the right level of this enzyme, the lactose will not be cleaved into glucose and galactose and will remain in the digestive tract. This sugar will ferment, produce gas and cause gastrointestinal upsets.
