Answer 3

my son was lactose intolerant bigtime!! We had to give him soy milk, or else he would throw up, A LOT!! I too am lactose intolerant, so I can only think he got it from me, as he got older though he was able to have milk without throwing up, but he would get very gassy instead and have stomach irritation as do I. I love milk too much though, so I deal with it, which is the reason I think he deals with it, he is 7 now.
