Answers: I'm lactose intolerant and it sounds like it; however, it could be an allergy to milk and milk products.

I would suggest picking up some Lactaid pills and seeing if that helps. If you don't really need them, they're not going to hurt you. I use the generic version and they work just fine, however, I am pretty intolerant so I usually take two with my dairy.

Good luck!
It sure sounds like you could be. The best way to evaluate this is to completely cut out dairy products for a couple of weeks (take a calcium supplement, of course) and track your symptoms. Then go to your doctor and explain to him or her what you've observed as far as your reactions to dairy products.
