A member asked:

I have a lot of burping and stomach troubles after milk or ice cream. i tried lactaid milk and had the same problems. am i lactose intolerant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Burping and milk: Jacob, people with proper lactose intolerance have an absence of an enzyme in the gut that digests milk called LACTASE. If you do not have this (congenitally) then you are intolerant of milk and that causes, cramps and diarrea. Yours sounds more like a functional intolerance , so if it upsets you, just avoid it. thanks
