This time the Mom is probably right.  Lactose intolerance develops in many
people as a function of age.  That a person as a child can tolerate it,
doesnt mean they do not develop the trait whern older.  It definately runs in
families so exposure to too much lactose with the other child can *cause*
earlier reaction.

Asians have a classic reaction there.  As infants they tolerate it but as
they reach adulthood, that tolerance drops off.  It's pretty normal to remove
all milk from the diet by age 5.  Dont worry, they use other things for
calcium levels.
