I am slightly lactose intolerant. I only say “slightly” because *think* I have a higher tolerance to dairy than other people but ofc still have limits.
A little TMI below so please be warned ^^;
Like for today for instance. I ate a Philly cheesesteak (it was so good), it didn’t give me diarrhea, but it did soften my stool and made me go about 15~25 minutes after eating it. But there are other times where I have dairy and it will just give me mild constipation.

Your example doesn’t show you’re lactose intolerant.
Cheese and other fermented milk products don’t contain much lactose, bacteria already broke it down during fermentation. There’s not much cheese on the cheese steak either and it wouldn’t get to your intestines in 25 minutes.
If you were lactose intolerant you’d get gas/diarrhea couple hours after drinking milk or eating dairy, not constipation.
