Lactose Intolerance Sign #3: Flatulence
Flatulence is something young children consider hilarious. However, it can be embarrassing for adults, and can lead to some very awkward social situations. It is caused by an excess buildup of gas in the stomach, with some people encountering it more than others.
When you have lactose intolerance, the food that passes from the stomach to the small intestine interacts with the bacteria that live there, causing the production of gas. Not only can flatulence lead to people releasing gas more often, but the gas released can also smell particularly bad.
