As a "dermally de-pigmented" blue-eyed red-head, I have no problem with lactose, but do have problems with casein and wheat. I had colic as a baby (on cow's milk) and was put on soymilk & am intolerant of that now, too.
Once I partake in higher casein dairy, like yogurt, cream cheese, sour cream, I crave more and more. It causes no problems with digestion, I just can't breathe and often get hives. I seem to be OK with a touch of cream in my coffee and lower-casein cheeses (in moderation).
Ubizmo, I don't think the Bambi cheese idea is that far-fetched; rennet's properties must have been discovered by people examining the guts of the animals they ate. Our paleoancestors made use of everything, and a stomach full of curdled milk would not have gone unnoticed. I suspect the Scots got the idea for haggis after cutting open a sheep whose stomach was full of grain and whatever else they ate. They probably cut it out, filled any extra space with the other "variety meats", tied off the ends and threw it on the fire and then hung the rest of the carcass to cure it. In many cultures the stuff we North Americans don't eat are considered to be the best parts.
