A member asked:
Since i was sick for 3 months i stopped having milk, now i seem to get bloated and feel a bit sick when i drink it. did i develop lactose intolerance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: If the illness affected the intestinal, the inflammation may lead to a transient loss of lactase and thus lactose intolerance. The lack of exposure to lactose for a few months may also reduce the body's production of lactase also. Wait another 3 months and try milk again. Let us know what follows.
