what are the symptoms for being lactose intolerant?

Answer 1

Alternate Names : Dairy Product Intolerance, Disaccharidase Deficiency, Lactase Deficiency, Milk Intolerance. The sy,ptoms are: Abdominal cramps, Bloating, Flatulence, weight loss, malnutrition, slow growth, abdominal distention, abdominal fullness – gaseous, diarrhoea, floating stools, foul-smelling stools. Fortunately, lactose intolerance is relatively easy to treat. No treatment exists to improve the body's ability to produce lactase, but lactose intolerance symptoms can be controlled through diet. Young children with lactase deficiency should not eat any foods containing lactose. Most older children and adults need not avoid lactose completely, but individuals differ in the amounts and types of foods they can handle. For example, one person may suffer symptoms of lactose intolerance after drinking a small glass of milk, while another can drink one glass but not two. Others may be able to manage ice cream and aged cheeses, such as cheddar and Swiss, but not other dairy products. Dietary control of lactose intolerance depends on each person's learning through trial and error how much lactose he or she can handle. For those who react to very small amounts of lactose or have trouble limiting their intake of foods that contain lactose, lactase enzymes are available without a prescription. Lactase enzyme tablets are available to help people digest foods that contain lactose. The tablets are taken with the first bite of dairy food. Lactase enzyme is also available as a liquid. Adding a few drops of the enzyme will convert the lactose in milk or cream, making it more digestible for people with lactose intolerance. Lactose-reduced milk and other products are available at most supermarkets. The milk contains all of the nutrients found in regular milk and remains fresh for about the same length of time, or longer if it is super-pasteurized.

Its pretty much the symptom is diaherra. When your body doesnt have the ensyme lactase it cant digest lactose. So then for some reason you get the hershy squirts.

Answer 3

You get the crazy bubble guts when you drink dairy products. Bad stomach, running to the restroom and sometimes vomitting. It' gets better after about 30-45 minutes. I used to have it really bad when I was younger.

General bloating, diarrhea, mucousy stools and increased gassiness associated with milk or milk product (eg. ice cream) intake.
