A member asked:
Can a lactose intolerance flare up make you feel like crap? and how long can a flare-up be expected to last?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Flare ?: There are 2 basic forms. Those born who don't make the enzyme needed to digest it & those who lose the enzyme transiently after a gut problem like bad diarrhea.Someone with either form will have more symptoms if they consume a high lactose food in a quantity large enough to trigger them. Stop consuming lactose & both forms improve. The transient forms improve overall if no lactose for a few days.
