Could I be lactose intollerant?

Common symptoms of lactose intolerant are nausea, cramps, bloating, gas and diarrhea, which can begin between about 30 minutes to two hours after eating or drinking foods containing lactose. Many people who have never been diagnosed as lactose intolerant, or "lactase deficient," may notice that milk and other dairy products cause problems that do not occur when eating other foods. The severity of symptoms varies, depending on the amount of lactose each individual can tolerate.

Yes it is very possible, either that of you have an allergic reaction to dairy products. Things like this can just happen to some people, and develop at different times. My friend is lactose intolerent and he has the same problems as you. Dont worry though, its not a life ruiner and there are plenty of lactose free dairy products that you can have as a replacement. I would suggest that you listen to your doctor and dont eat dairy products because you could make yourself worse.

Actually most adults, well even younger people like yourself become lactose intolerant as they get older.. Babies and children were built to drink milk, well breast milk. Not cow milk. In any case, if milk is giving you stomach cramps, gas, or diarrhea, or all of the above. You are lactose intolerant.. Try soy, almond or rice milk instead.
