What are the symptoms of lactose intolerance?

People who do not have enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose they consume may feel very uncomfortable when they digest milk products. Common symptoms, which range from mild to severe, include nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Symptoms begin about 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating or drinking foods containing lactose. The severity of symptoms depends on many factors, including the amount of lactose a person can tolerate and a person’s age, ethnicity, and digestion rate.
me and my sisters get gassy when we are nervous, too!

you are not the only one!
First of all, a lot of IBS sufferers (myself included) are also lactose intolerant. I can usually drink milk, but if I even look at ice cream, we have a problem. The nervousness is most likely you thinking about it too much, then making yourself nervous, then those little stressors in life make your IBS act up. The best treatment that I have encountered is taking a fiber supplement everyday. If this constipates you, back off to one every other day. This will add bulk to your stool, and slow things down a little.
