A member asked:

Steps on how to help stomach pain from being lactose intolerant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop lactose: Of course this is a flippant answer but it would be the easiest way. No lactose sugar means no "food" for the colon bacteria that metabolize it and make gas/give cramps. You can try lactaid which works for most people. Those are really the only 2 ways.
