I Have Gradually Become More Lactose Intolerant. I Now Have

I have gradually become more lactose intolerant. I now have severe diarhea the next day with a small serving of milk-based food, unless eaten with lactaid pills. I have the same problem if I try fish oil supplements. Are these problems related? is there a way to tolerate fish oil supplements without such side effects?
