I went through the same thing during one summer, when I was home from college and working full-time in a factory and having a donut and a carton of milk for a snack every morning -- I'd feel ill by lunchtime without fail.

Lactaid isn't so bad, really, and it does help quite a bit. I'm mostly over the intolerance now, unless I forget and have lots of dairy every day for a week or so. Yogurt seems to be exempt for me (and others), which is good, as I've discovered that smoothies are nummy for breakfast.
