yah.. you can slowly build up the level of whatever the heck
they call that.. the stuff which metabolises or breaks down
lactose.. lactase or something.. by slowly drinking larger amounts
of milk gradually over a long period of time
Actually, I think once you lose the ability to produce lactase,
the enzyme that helps to break down lactose, you cannot get it back
again.
I reckon what happens is that one just gets used to dairy
products, and somehow don't get as major a reaction to it as one
used to get.
Perhaps, just a simple case of the body acclimatising itself to
new conditions.
