- thaumasiotes 5y ago> I think you can build up a little of lactose tolerance with moderate intake (and it seem you can loose it, happened to me after staying away from milk products due to living in Asia for a couple of years) There are three major strategies a human body may implement for lactase: The first is that you produce lactase as an infant, and then you stop producing it. This is the mammalian norm. The second is that you produce lactase as an infant, and then you never stop producing it. But the third is that you produce lactase as an infant, and then you keep producing it so long as lactose is a regular part of your diet. You will permanently stop producing it if you ever go for a significant period without consuming lactose. It sounds like you were a type 3.
