    I’m talking about the big bubble teas full of milk. I’m also lactose intolerant and I would be nervous to drink one of those without a pill first!

    I suspect there's not really that much milk in those weird things!

    I can't do milk in coffee, and I mean even very little milk, not Latte or Cappuccino. Hard cheese is no problem. Brie depends. Strange thing is I am not genetically lactose intolerant. I had milk and everything all my life. Just the last year or so trouble started.

    Did it start after a course of antibiotics by any chance?

    I would have to dig deep into that. Have had some AB last year I think, but the lactose issue is older, more like 3 years. I don't recall any AB pills then.

    After some thinking and research, it might be Amlodipine related.

    Watsons has something similar:
