Is it possible to develop an intolerance for stuff (i.e. lactose or latex)?

I used to be able to drink milk, no problem, when I was a kid but now I can't handle it. Can lactose-intolerance be developed?Is it possible to develop an intolerance for stuff (i.e. lactose or latex)?
Yes it can. Your body changes as you get older, you can develop new allergies and new intolerances. I used to down chocolate like no tomorrow, and now I break out in cold sores and get the most painful sore throats from it. (My mom is allergic to chocolate and I developed the allergy in my late teens/early 20s).





Its pretty common for people to become lactose intolerant later in life.
