How do you know if you're lactose intolerant?

Question: I've never had this problem before, but now everytime I drink milk or have ice cream I feel bloated and have gas. Am I lactose intolerant?

Answers:
Lactose intolerance can develop over time in women. That's what happened to me! Try avoiding dairy and see how you feel.

Other Answers:
drink milk..and if it makes you sick then you are lactose intolerant. Assuming, of course, the milk is not past its expiration.

yea, sounds like it; try taking enzymes, cut down on portion size, and somehow ice cream doesn't bother me as much on a HOT day!!

If you ingest any dairy products and your insides feel like they're being, well you know the feeling, then chances are.

have the same trouble, in the childhood was drinking liter-wise milk, now cant have it even with coffee.
actually it depends on the time, when u take it, the combination with other products, and your physical type (check this: Ayurveda>>dosha's>>kapha, pita and vata).
up to some age our body needs milk. and children have the better intuition, what is good to eat, when and in which combination, therefor they have less troubles with stomach, also they do not have this false shame, to let go what has to go.
the other thing is, u might have amoeba in ur stomach. check it better.

90% of the human race is lactose intolerant. Besides gas one typically has diarhea. Most Nordic people are tolerant and one or two African tribes. Virtually everone else is intolerant. Besides cows milk is meant for calves, sorry Dairy Council.
