why don’t they have a cure for lactose intolerance

If I had a small intestine transplant for someone who produced lactase, would it cure it?
I know lactose intolerance isn’t deadly I’m just curious if it’s possible.

You’d be on immunosuppressive drugs the rest of your life to not reject the small intestine, which sounds worse than taking lactaid when you want to have some dairy.
