Intolerance vs ills: About 1/4 of adults become intolerant to the lactose sugar in milk and many milk products.They can have bloating, cramps and loose stools that disappear on a lactose free diet. Those with a sensitivity to gluten in food can have similar issues. Germs or parasites can also trigger the symptoms.
