  1. Slope, they do but definitely not as much as in American culture. I got it pretty bad when I came here. I could eat hard dairy like cheeses but the minute I would have milk with cereal, I had the worst stomach aches. It got really bad at one point that I couldn’t even put a little milk in my coffee. The GI that I went to back then (this was about 10 years ago) told me that it was common amonst Eastern Europeans and Asians. Told me that I will adjust and gave me lactaid pills just in case. It took about 5 years or so but I am much better. I still avoid milk in pure form like with cereal or just a glass of milk. That’s just too dangerous for me but I can tolerate pretty much everything else.

  2. Lactose intolerance is very real in many Mediterranean people & Asians. It’s scaled from 1 to 100 – average intolerance is 50. One friend of mine has a 2 & can’t even have French bread made w/ a TB of milk.
    I can’t eat (or think about) smegma w/o getting a rash.
