Symptoms can be mild to severe, depending on how much lactase one’s body can make. Symptoms usually begin thirty minutes to two hours after you eat or drink milk products (Pakdaman 2016). Symptoms may include: bloating, pain or cramps, rumbling sounds in your belly, gas, loose stools or diarrhea, and throwing up. If you have any of these symptoms after eating lactose infused foods, consult your doctor. Your doctor can make sure that your symptoms are not caused by any other problem. He or she may ask you to avoid dairy products for a short time to see if your symptoms improve. Doctors sometimes order a hydrogen breath test or a blood sugar test to confirm the diagnosis that was made (Saviano, Ritter, Klaenhammer, James, Longcore, Chandler, Walker, Foyt 2013). These are just a few of the tests that can prove if you are digesting lactose
