A lot of people lose the ability to digest lactose over time due to decreasing enzyme levels. However another problem could be developing an intolerance to casein, the major protein in dairy. It can cause a variety of symptoms including fatigue and skin issues. You could ask your doc to run some tests, or just avoid dairy in general.
