Diet bloating: A deficiency in the ability to split lactose, contained in milk or milk products, causes accumulation of lactic acid in the digestive system, causing bloating and irritation of the colon. The deficiency can increase with age. Other causes can contribute to this symptom, so if taking "Lactaid" instead of milk does not work, get a consult with a gastroenterologist to solve this.
