Specializes in Gastroenterology

Maybe not lactose: Maybe your problem isn't due to lactose, or not only due to lactose. Other diet factors including other sugars, carbonated beverages, alcohol, coffee, sugarless gum or candy (sorbitol, or mannitol), tobacco, or non dietary causes. Make a diet diary, see your doc.

What causes wet flatulence? I've noticed an increase in "skidmarks" in my underwear. I've had lactose intolerance most of my life but it's never been too bad. I have started working out pretty hard and drastically reduced calorie and sugar intake?
