Answers:
If your lactose intolerant, u'd know. You'd start burping out whenever u've had anything to do with milk. But if you've had milk products on an empty, then u'd have bad smelling gases and having difficulty in digestion. This is from personal experience. It may take time to say a constant no to dairy but on the flipside you'l have a slimmer waistline. You could substitute dairy with meat, egg, soya, fish etc,,,and ice-cream with sorbet
Become a soy lover!

a) have terrible back, stomach, and/or chest pain
b) have intolerable gas

The easiest way to self-diagnose lactose intolerance is to chug down twelve to sixteen ounces of milk. If you find yourself running to the bathroom with diarrhea a short time later, you've got it!
I am lactose intolerant, but can drink four to eight ounces of milk a day with no problems.
Cheese no longer has lactose in it, so it doesn't cause problems for those who are intolerant. Eat all you want, but opt for lower-fat varieties whenever possible.
Although yogurt contains lactose, enzymes in it apparently break down the sugar. I can eat large quantities of yogurt with no intestinal distress. You should be able to eat it, too.
Just cut back on the milk, and you should be all right.
