Providing we have lactase secreted into our digestive tract, we can quite happily digest and absorb dairy products. In it's absence, then no (excluding any predigestion).

Gluten, similar. Providing you don't have an immune response to the partially digested protein, you can break it down and absorb it quite happily.

Personally, my digestive tract works just fine and secretes all the enzymes it needs to secrete, and my immune system doesn't go apeshit at the silliest of things. So I can eat what I like and I don't appreciate some jumped up dietician telling me what I can and can't eat. Try and have a balanced diet - and that does include fat too! And follow one simple rule...if what you eat is greater than what you burn off, you'll put on weight. And vice versa. So if you eat a lot and aren't prepared to give that up (like me), exercise more. I managed to lose over 30kg with barely changing my diet - I just made sure I exercised plenty.
