A member asked:
Rarely have caffeine today i had an iced coffee. i am lactose intolerant and use lactaid. i felt like i drank milk and had diarrhea is it the caffeine?

Either: Could be either, i dont know how much caffeine was in the coffee or the size of the coffee you drank. I also dont know what dose of lactaid you used and how much milk as in the coffee. Try having the same coffee with a non dairy creamer and see what happens. That could provide a clue to distinguish between the two.
