A member asked:

I have a dairy sensitivity otherwise controlled with lactase pills. now when i eat cheese (excluding swiss) i instantly feel like i've ingested poison (nausea/metallic taste in mouth/feeling faint). what on earth could be going on? will speak w/pcp?

Cheese is a very concentrated milk product and can cause those symptoms despite lactase pills. By all means speak to your PCP. Hope you do well

It sounds as though you are having either worse lactase deficiency, not controlled with lactase, or another type of food sensitivity. I would recommend avoiding the offending foods for now, but it would be a good idea to talk with your primary care doctor or your gastroenterologist to see if anything new is happening, since it sounds like these are new symptoms for you. Good luck.
