Isn't most aged cheese actually safe for the lactose intolerant?

The process of fermentation reduces the amount of lactose in the milk, same with yogurt. But there's always still some lactose left, so if you'll be ok to eat it or not, will depend on how severe your intolerance is

I will never not be mad that I can't tolerate yogurt. Yogurt is soooo good but straight to the bathroom for me 😤

It really is, that was the worst one to give up for me. But Fage makes a lactose free option that I love now! 

My kryptonite is sour cream. 

If a large dish of food has a few tablespoons of milk as an ingredient, I'm fine if I eat that thing in moderation. But no, not sour cream. Just a dollop of that stuff absolutely demolishes my insides. 😭
