Simple. eat a small meal and then wait a number of hours not eating anything Then drink a large glas of whole milk. Wai two hours. If you are lactose intolerant you will experience a number of uncomfortable symptoms, such as bloating, upset stomach plus excessive wind. You may also feel ill and might have stomach pain. Another symptom is frequsnt urge to have bowel movements. You will feel unwel. If lactose tolerant ("normal". you will not experience the abovve problems. If you do have a few of these problems but to a mild degree. Repeat the test but drink soymilk or Lactose free milk or take a medication that alleviates the problem. If you then have no symptomms the second trial, you probably are lactose intolerant.
It is a good idea to have an allergist confirm your condition.

Have a friend or boyfriend of yours that you trust make you smoothies. Make regular milk smoothies for a portion of the week, then lactose free milk for the other portion. If you (without knowing which day you are getting which) have stomach discomfort, cramping, bloating etc, with one kind of the smoothies and not the others, then you are probably lactose intolerant. If this seems to be the case, have your friend make you the same kind that they made you before, and take a lactaid (pill for people with intolerance) and it doesn't bother you, then you are most definately lactose intolerant.

If you do not have any allergic reactions after drinking milk ( any dairy product ) that means you are lactose tolerant and if you get allergic reaction that means you are lactose intolerant.

if your stomach gets upset after drinking milk, eating ice cream or any other kind of dairy product. I suggest you see the doctor to make sure.
