A member asked:
Is it possible to randomly get lactose intolerant sometimes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Transient lactose intolerance often comes after a stomach flu. The damage to the bowel often damages the enzymes that break down lactose. These "regrow" over several weeks and then the lactose intolerance should go away!
