Have yourself checked for food allergies and Lactose intolerance. In the meantime avoid dairy. There are OTC products with Lactade in them which help too

Your symptoms could be due to lactose intolerance. You may wish to try lactose free foods. If that does not help, it would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably a GI specialist. Wish you good health!
