A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lactos intolerance: Sounds like a good case for lactose intolerance. Some people lack the enzyme that breaks down milk sugar. This causes intestinal cramping, bloating, diarrhea when milk or milk products are ingested. Treatment is to avoid milk products or to take a replacement enzyme along with any ingested milk product. Sold over the counter at grocery and pharmacy as lact aid (lactase).
