Lactase is the enzyme that helps you digest lactose :P unless your diet includes intestines of newborn animals, you're probably not getting a lot in food
I've never heard of anyone being allergic to lactic acid before. Are you allergic to it? Do you have a reaction to lactate in your blood or muscles in general or of it rising during exercise?
Haha I see, easy mixup! Lactose, aka milk sugar, maybe? Or milk protein?
There is lactic acid in plenty of food as well, but it's often produced synthetically and not from milk products, so you don't necessarily need to avoid those products if you're allergic to milk.
In Europe if an ingredient contains lactose (or some of the other most common allergens like nuts or shellfish), it'll be written in bold font, so if it's not bold it's fine. I don't know if it's the same elsewhere though?

Diabetes = “oh no thanks, that could kill me”
Shellfish allergy = “oh no thanks, that could kill me”
Tree nuts allergy = “oh no thanks, that could kill me”
Lactose = “hello darkness my old friend…”

I think I misused "lactic acid" there. 😅

Even things like chicken nuggets have it in them so I just decided long ago to make peace with the bathroom and accept dairy.
