Cause #3: Lactose Intolerance
You’d probably know by now if you had an intolerance to milk products, right? Not necessarily. A lot of people don’t realize that you can actually develop an intolerance to lactose even after eating and drinking dairy products for many years.
Lactose intolerant people are actually a majority in many parts of the world, so don’t think that it’s unlikely that you can’t properly digest lactose. If you experience bloating, diarrhea, burping, excessive gas, or intestinal discomfort after eating dairy products, it’s reasonable to assume you have a lactose intolerance.
