yea it can be due to lactose intolerance

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thanks for putting your query in hcm.

Lots of burps and stomach churns can be due to lactose intolerance.

I will suggest you to get your stool examination for pH or rducing sugar to confirm this. If it is there the stool pH will be reduced and reducing sugar will be present.

And the tretament for this is to avoid dairy products. Take a course of probiotic also.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health
