Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

While avoiding food with lactose is a legit way to deal with it, if you're not aware, I believe that there's enzymes that you can take with the food to break it down, same way that you can take Beano to break down the sugars there to avoid flatulence after eating beans.
hits Wikipedia
Sounds like it. I've never used it, so I can't personally endorse it:

Lactaid sucks and it’s much easier to just avoid dairy. I’m vegan now but when I occasionally ate dairy I used lactaid and it was like “this turns a terrible situation into a moderately bad situation, that is still pretty awful and uncomfortable”
Yup, it sucks. You can't trust it to work and you never know how much you need, or if it will work at all.
Oh yes, I'm well versed in lactase tablets. I always have these on hand, both Lactaid and Lactojoy (the hard stuff from Germany with 14,500 FCCs of lactase). The issue is that if you keep eating the food with lactose, you have to keep taking the lactase tablets, because you're body doesn't produce it (or very little) on its own.
I accidentally ate something with lactose (Chinese food, of all things) last month and had to take 8 Lactaid pills and 2 Lactojoys just to keep myself off the toilet for the rest of the day. There's no way to tell how much lactose I consumed, how much lactase I need to counteract it, etc. It's just not a game I'm willing to play, especially out in public. It's like poisoning myself intentionally and then gambling with how much antidote to take before the pain sets in. Dairy just isn't worth it.
