A reverse of lactose intolerance?

I have always loved milk (perhaps more so than the average person). I drank it all the time as a kid. I still drink milk every day and go through nearly two gallons in a single week.
Anyway one time I ran out of milk but didn't really need anything else, so rather than go all the way to the store just to get milk I thought I would just do without until I needed to go shopping again. The first day or so everything was normal, but about the third day I began to feel ill. Mainly it was my digestive system. My stomach was cramping, I was gassy I basically had the symptoms of someone who was lactose intolerant that just ate a bunch of ice cream. After I finally went shopping and had a glass or two of milk it went away. I wrote it of as some bug that I picked up, and didn't connect it to the milk.
A few months later, some friends and I went on vacation for a week. The milk was gone two days before coming home. Rather than get more, I drank some of the juice and things we bought. On the car ride home, I had those symptoms again. Once we were home and I had some milk I was fine again. It was about this time I put two and two together. Wondering if it was just a coincidence, I deliberately stayed away from milk. Sure enough, I felt ill.
Now I ask has anyone heard of a milk dependency? I looked online to see if I could find anything about someone being physically ill from a lack of milk, but found nothing, so I thought I would ask here.
