Lactose intolerance is not something you catch, it's genetic/allergy. You need to avoid ALL forms of dairy products, this include, yoghurt, cream, butter, milk, cheese, some margarine makes have milk solids. Some cases you need to avoid egg whites as well, mayonnaise has egg in, most cookies have egg or milk in.
Should the ingredients contain, whey powder, milk solids, butter, milk, cheese, milk powder, cheese powder or any dairy item, avoid it.
If there is no way that lactose can be omitted from your diet the only other solution is to pair your lactose intake with a lactose additives, which can be purchased at most drug stores.
Lactose is not healthy for everyone. Some people are lactose intolerant, meaning they have difficulty digesting lactose, the sugar found in milk. This can cause symptoms like bloating, gas, and diarrhea. It is important for individuals with lactose intolerance to limit their intake of lactose-containing foods or choose lactose-free alternatives.
It depends on the level of lactose intolerance in the individual and it also depends on the dairy food that is consumed. The level of lactose intolerance depends on how much lactase enzyme exists in the person's digestive system to digest the lactose. The more lactase, the easier it is to digest the lactose, the less lactase, the harder to digest the lactose and the food moves through the intestines without being digested properly and this is primarily what causes the symptoms in lactose intolerance. Some dairy foods have lower levels of lactose: * Most low fat yoghurts * Parmesan cheese * Low fat mozzarella But even when eating these foods, if too much is eaten at once or on an empty stomach, it can increase risk of getting symptoms. Other (especially high fat) dairy foods will cause the lactose symptoms (bloating, gas, abdominal pain, nausea) within a short time of eating the foods. Some research suggests that eating a little bit of the well-tolerated dairy foods, together with other foods may help with their digestion and may increase levels of the lactase enzyme as the body becomes more used to digesting the lactose. But other research suggests that we all become more lactose intolerant as we age anyway. Some cultures are more prone to be lactose intolerant than others anyway.
Some recommended lactose-free protein sources for individuals with lactose intolerance include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, tempeh, legumes, nuts, and seeds.

Lactose intolerance, the inability to digest the sugar found in milk, is widespread and affects up to 70% of the world's adult population.
Some people are unable to digest lactose, which is found in milk and other dairy products. For these people, a diet specifically designed for lactose intolerance is a necessity.
Foods that contain lactose. You may not need to completely avoid foods and beverages that contain lactose —such as milk or milk products. If you avoid all milk and milk products, you may get less calcium and vitamin D than you need. People with lactose intolerance can handle different amounts of lactose.
Approximately 65% of the global population has a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy, known as lactose intolerance. This varies by region and ethnicity, with some populations having higher rates of lactose intolerance than others.
People with lactose intolerance watch out for and avoid dairy products, though there are degrees of lactose intolerance. Some people can tolerate small amounts of butter and cheese or yogurt, whereas others cannot tolerate even tiny amounts of milk products.
just to add to my question, i have some symptoms that seem to apply to both celiac intolerance AND lactose intolerance. I'm trying the whole elimination diet now, one by one...but can't celiac actually cause lactose intolerance??
