Oh wow I should've known about this community!

I wonder if that's been seen in infants. Lactose isn't as complex molecule like wheat gluten, so it should be the same coming from Mom as from a goat or camel or a cow. If someone only reacts to cow milk, then they're sensitive to dairy. Do they get the runs lactose-free milk?

So my understanding is that normally the enzymes to process lactose are available in newborns.

If we follow the design Mother Nature intended, as soon as we start eating solid foods we stop drinking milk and or body stops producing those enzymes making us effectively lactose intolerant.

But since humans do drink milk the body continues to produce those enzymes.

Some people still lose that that ability and then there are also ones who never had them. That makes them lactose intolerant.

Also being lactose intolerant doesn't kill you, you just can't break it up, so you will have upset stomach, fart etc.

I believe there is a lactose free milk for newborns for those scenarios.

My understanding is that there's lactose in all milk so probably it applies too.

Also besides being lactose intolerant, you can also be allergic to milk, which is much more serious, but that can vary on kind of a milk.

You made assumptions that are wrong. Goat milk is fine for the lactose intolerant. Heck even A2 dairy is fine for some. Lactaid milk, and others like it, are also fine because they add the lactase enzyme to it that breaks down the lactose. Hard cheeses are usually fine because the lactose has been broken down by the cheese aging process.

Lactaid milk removes the lactose altogether. It's the Lactaid supplement that has the lactase in it.
