A member asked:

Lately when i eat a certain cheese, i get really bad gas pains and i end up having a bowel movement. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lactase: Lactase, the enzyme that digests the dairy sugar lactose, is an inducible enzyme. This means that as we age, and we eat less dairy products, our body makes less of it and it becomes harder and harder for us to digest lactose. This leftover lactose can ferment in our digestive system causing feelings of bloating and changes in our stool. Taking over the counter lactase can help!
