Lactose Intolerance Sign #5: Unusual Stools
Inspecting our stools is not something we normally do, but it can be useful. Our stools can tell us a great deal about our overall health, even by simply looking at them. If your stools are more liquid than usual, it could be down to an intolerance to lactose.
Runny stools are a typical symptom of lactose intolerance, although it’s often misdiagnosed as infection-induced diarrhea. The patient wouldn’t experience runny stools until the day after they have consumed lactose. The stools are also likely to be acidic, which would require a sample to be tested for diagnosis.
