A member asked:
What is lactose intolerant and how can you tell if you are?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Milk sugar pbm: Lactose intolerant means you can't tolerate the sugar in milk. You can take lactaid pills to replace the missing enzyme in your diet. If you have foods that contain the milk sugar without the enzyme, you might get symptoms of bloating, gas, diarrhea and cramping after ingesting milk products.
