Lactose Intolerance Sign #7: Weight Loss
Being able to break food down is important because this process allows us to use the nutrients our body needs. If we are unable to break food down, we can’t get those important nutrients. Ultimately, this can lead to problems such as malnutrition which can cause unwanted weight loss.
Lactose intolerance can also cause diarrhea, which contributes to the weight loss issue. To complicate matters further, it can sometimes take years to make a correct diagnosis, which hinders proper treatment. Sudden weight loss is dangerous so you should speak with a doctor if you notice it happens to you.
