CW: Medical TMI, IBS
I grew up hating milk, and being forced to drink it anyway. I still to this day can't just drink a glass of milk. I mostly avoid ice cream as well.
Interestingly, I can tolerate aged cheeses, and most cooked foods, that contain milk. I've always assumed that enough lactose is denatured by those processes to get by my "defenses".

CW: Medical TMI, IBS
I have IBS. It's triggered by many things. Due to the reaction I have to drinking non-lactase milk, I'm likely also lactose intolerant. I only ever use milk to wet cereal.
This morning I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast. The only milk in the house is regular (non-lactase) milk. That's okay, I'm only using it for cereal, right? Oh my, was I wrong. I've visited the restroom a half dozen times already as a result. 🤷♀️
