Suffering From Bloating, Stomach Pain And Diarrhoea, After Consuming Dairy Products. Is The Intolerant Only To The Fat And Not Lactose?
Hi, I never had a problem to digest milk or dairy products. But recently I found that when I eat fatty dairy products (like sour cream or heavy cream), even if they are lactose-free, I get bloating , stomach pain and even diarrhea . Is it possible to be intolerant only to the fat in those products and not lactose? Thank you for your answer

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
Yes,it can be caused by this, but also you can have insufficiency of enzymes for lactose or fat digestion ,which may occur later in life. So this can be lactose intoerance too. It doesnt even matter what it is, you just need to avoid food which irritates your digestion system. You can also do tests to verify exact problems. Wish you good health. Regards
