“Wanna shit” is a bit of an understatement for what happens, but yeah, just take a 9000 unit lactase pill every 30 minutes while consuming it and you’ll be fine. Or maybe two pills if you’re eating a LOT of cheese.
Ripened cheese (eg cheddar, Emmental, Monterey Jack, Parmesan, Brie…) usually does not have any significant amount of lactose left. The ripening process gets rid of it.
If you are lactose intolerant you just need to avoid fake/processed „cheese“ and fresh cheeses (eg mozzarella, ricotta, cream cheese).
That said, taking lactase pills when it’s not necessary will not hurt you, just your wallet.
