History: Your doctor will likely get a more detailed history from you and ascertain whether you are lactose-intolerant (chowder->gas & diarrhea) and check on other possibilities. Since you have not given any details on what kind of digestive problem and for how long, it is impossible to provide a guess. Stay away from milk or ice cream for now.
