A member asked:
Can you please tell me how lactose intolerance and food poisoning differ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cause: Food poisoning is caused by either actively ingesting the bacteria or a toxin. Lactose intolerance causes diarrhea because your gut cannot break down the lactose because it is lacking the enzyme to do it.
