Lactose is a carbohydrate often found in milk. This means it may affect your daily routine, including that morning cup of coffee and that bowl of cereal. However, there is a difference between being lactose intolerant and having a dairy allergy. Having a lactose allergy can cause unpleasant symptoms but they can be managed. It is better to know your lactose allergy than to not to. If you have been experiencing any of the below symptoms, then your results do make sense.
In some cases, lactose can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms after eaten, such as:
- bloating
