Suggest Treatment For Lactose And Dairy Intolerance

My friend has been experiencing excessive belching, and is unsure of the issue causes. Up to this point, she has been diagnosed with a lactose and dairy intolerance, but does not consume much of that without taking Lactade pills. If you could offer some friendly advice, it would be much appreciated.

Dear- thanks for using our service and will give you my medical advise. Lactose intolerance produces belching and bloating. It is advisable to avoid all the dairy products and use Lactaide to help the symptoms. The best advise is to have a lactose free diet,that will help the patient a lot.If he/she still having symptoms, then add the lactaide supplements. It is important to have a colonoscopy too for a complete evaluation of the intestines.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
