Need some advice (milk products)

Friends, I love dairy. Perhaps a bit too much.

Never had a problem until recently. Been dealing with a lot of joint pain and muscle aches, very slow recovery times, etc. I originally just chalked it up to almost being 40, but after a particularly painful day a couple weeks ago, I realized I was dealing with symptoms of chronic inflammation.

Dairy was the first thing I cut out, and things improved almost immediately. Even some skin/eczema type issues look to be clearing up. While I haven't had very bad gastrointestinal issues, almost all of these symptoms go away if I consume a couple lactase pills when I eat dairy, so it definitely seems to be a light and/or growing lactose intolerance.

I'm not surprised this has happened, as a few months ago I started a new job, and my fast food intake has definitely increased. Think a lot of the junk has wrecked my overall gut health. That and consuming more ultra-pasteurized products like half & half.

My question is, has anyone had similar issues and been able to improve their milk tolerance? If so, what did you do? Everywhere else online seems to say that lactose intolerance is irreversible once it starts. Given everywhere else also says porn is okay, and that I'll throw up blood and half my bodily organs if I ever consume raw milk, let's just say I have some doubts about their claims.

Is the milk you drink pasteurized? Eating cooked and pasteurized foods long term reduces the body's ability to make enzymes for digesting cooked foods. I also grew up drinking raw milk because my mom was into the whole food shit and would go to the farmers market. Never had any issues, but also didn't notice insane benefits either, probably because I was already pretty healthy.

I have a source for raw milk, but it's over an hour round trip, so I generally stuck with store bought milk. Up until now I haven't had issues eating or drinking pasteurized products, but I'm thinking of switching to raw milk in order to try and reacclimate myself. That and cleaning up my diet in general.
