What to do if i have a bloated stomach and diarrhea, what is the cause and ways to fix this?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Many causes: Lactose intolerance from dairy would be a common cause but there are many other potential causes. See a gastroenterologist if the problem does not resolve with dairy elimination.
