Lactose intolerance includes all dairy products, and the lack of the cleaving of lactose allows oxidation to lactic acid, an irritant of the GI tract which can cause the symptoms in your question. Get a referral to a GI physician, as there are other potential causes for blood in the stool.

Constipated past 3 days, taking fybogel and went this morning. Light red solid lump in stool, could be extracted & had tomatos 2 days ago. Could this be skin or blood? Also mucus on toilet paper when wiping. Could this be from being constipated?
