Diarrhea can be kinda dangerous, but yeah, bloating and gas are just mild inconveniences. Basically just a side effect of eating some foods anyway or sometimes in bigger amounts.
Virtually all adult humans will develop some degree of lactose intolerance as they age. A lot of people just never connect the fact that they are getting more farty and bloated with dairy, so in cultures where dairy consumption is more culturally ingrained, mild to moderate lactose intolerance tends to be underreported.
I guess, you didn’t claim otherwise, but just to point out that there’s actually also a genetic change in cultures that have consumed dairy for longer:
In northern European countries, early adoption of dairy farming conferred a selective evolutionary advantage to individuals that could tolerate lactose. This led to higher frequencies of lactose tolerance in these countries. For example, almost 100% of Irish people are predicted to be lactose tolerant.
Honestly that’s the first time i hear it. Though yeah culturally dairy is a big part of our culture, so it would make sense that any issues regarding it are underreported.
I’m going to need to see some sources to back up that claim.
Edit: this seems to say less than 0,5% of adult population is allergic to milk. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1939455122000229
Lactose intolerance is more common.

But that’s far from allergy. Allergies are more severe than just bloating, diarrhea and gas.
‘just’ bloating diarrhea and gas, wow

Yeah I guess that’s what they meant.
Has to be, only way it makes sense and would explain why i was surprised over it as I’m form EU and it’s significantly less people are effected here.

it might be far from allergy, but it makes no sense to consume such a thing
Depending on the severity of the effects, those are survivable or even just slightly uncomfortable. While allergies can be lethal.
Though that’s up to each individual to decide.
