It's probably not phycological. There are several types of lactose
intolerance, just like it can come in degrees.

I have a friend who tolerates a modicum of very well aged cheese ok,
but little else. There's a chemical shift in it to the lactose if the
cheese is starting to sort of grow almost crystals on the outside?
(Thats how he described it and I've seen the occasional odd bit at the
back of my fridge that seemed like that, a wrapped up end bit of
cracker barrell).
