Why does my stomach hurt when i drink milk? it's not an allergy. i also get really gassy.

Probable intolerance: It sounds like you may have lactose intolerance, which is an inability to digest the sugar in milk (lactose). The best way to rule out milk protein allergy is to see an allergist and get skin tested, but the symptoms you describe are more consistent with intolerance than allergy.
