Are you lactose intolerant?

Hi everyone :) so I haven't been feeling well for the past few weeks. At first I thought it was a sickness bug or something but I've realised it only happens when I eat too much dairy!

My symptoms are: feeling sick, stomach cramps, upset stomach, stomach rumbling.

I've realised that if I drink full fat milk, only a small amount makes me feel ill but if I drink semi-skimmed milk, it takes a while for me to feel bad. It tends to be in the morning that I feel worse but that might be because I drink full fat milk at home. Are my symptoms similar to yours?

If you're lactose intolerant, what symptoms do you get?

    same symptoms as you and yes I am lactose intolerant. I was actually born that way, it never really went away but I was forced to eat dairy growing up. I just thought getting sick was part of life. It just got worse as I got into my teens. I now avoid dairy for the most part. I mean it makes sense why it makes people sick, we're not really meant to have dairy beyond infancy.
