A member asked:
How do i know if i have lactose intolerance, or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Simple test: Try avoiding all milk products for a week and then try the lactaid brand of milk/cheese/ice cream. If you don't have any problems with those then you are likely to be lactose intolerant. There is also a breath hydrogen test that some GI offices perform to more definitively diagnose the condition.
