Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance

Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance
The common symptoms of someone with lactose intolerance usually appear 30 minutes after consuming some sort of food or beverage that contains lactose. The symptoms include:
• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Bloating
• Gas
• Cramps (usually abdominal)
There have been cases known where the patient does not have these symptoms, yet still lacks or has a deficient amount of the enzyme lactase in their small intestine. The symptoms can vary from mild to severe depending on who the consumer is and the amount of lactose in the food or beverage.
