Oddly enough, when I eat cheese I'm fine but milk makes for an evil happening in my belly. I doubt if it's true lactose intolerance, but there's something going on that's dairy-related.
it might be somethign they add to milk during pasturisation? (I really have no clue how they make cows milk into drinkable milk.. or shop milk. argh, you know what I mean)
Unpasteurized milk is drinkable. Pasteurization kills the harmful bacteria without altering the taste. Now there are some who believe that it removes some of the health benefit of the milk (I don't know, I'm not a food scientist). There is a 'raw milk' movement in the US, but it is largely 'against the law' as shipping or selling unpasteurized milk is verboten in most states.
Ditto. I love whole milk but if I drink more than a glass, my stomach jumps on a roller coaster. Happens even with fresh milk (uncle has a dairy farm). But cheese and butter; no prob!
"Cheeses. Traditionally made hard cheese (such as Swiss cheese) and soft ripened cheeses may create less reaction than the equivalent amount of milk because of the processes involved. Fermentation and higher fat content contribute to lesser amounts of lactose. Traditionally made Swiss or Cheddar might contain 10% of the lactose found in whole milk. In addition, the traditional aging methods of cheese (over 2 years) reduces their lactose content to practically nothing.[http://www.ilovecheese.com/lactose_intolerant_faqs.asp]
Commercial cheese brands, however, are generally manufactured by modern processes that do not have the same lactose reducing properties, and as no regulations mandate what qualifies as an "aged" cheese, this description does not provide any indication of whether the process used significantly reduced lactose."
My mum is allergic to cheese (makes her chuck), but fine with all other dairy products. I've always assumed it's the rennet. I realise this has no bearing on your question. Sorry. As you were.

That said, I hear goat cheese/milk don't contain lactose.

Most people who are lactose intolerant can drink eight ounces of milk, or a mozzarella pizza slice, without significant symptoms.
