Content: This can cause you to develop secondary lactase intolerance without a triggering condition. Takeaway
You can develop lactose intolerance at any age. It could be triggered by a condition, such as Crohn’s disease or gastroenteritis. This can result in your small intestine producing an inadequate supply of lactase. Also, as you age, your body naturally starts to product less lactase and that could result in the development of lactose intolerance. Last medically reviewed on January 9, 2019
