Yes..can be dehydrated..need to supply glucose immediate..
Stop eating and drinking all milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, cream, caramels, candies of all types.
Read the ingredients list to make sure: no whey, no dairy of any kind whatsoever, no snickers bar, &c
Drink some water, about one quart with a level teaspoon of salt in it. Best to have water slightly warm.
See the doctor As Soon As Possible -- today ! The sooner, the better.
If the condition returns when you return to consuming dairy products, THEN you have Lactose Intolerance.
You will NOT be able to consume ANY dairy product unless you take Lactase Enzyme pills. You can find those at any drug store. But it is even better to avoid dairy products.
Lactose Intolerance means that you do not digest milk sugar, called lactose. Therefore, harmful bacteria grow in your gut -- they are digesting YOUR dairy foods. They release irritating substances and cause much cramping.
Lactose intolerance is likely if you are over 30 years old or black or Chinese.
But there are many other possible causes of your condition which a doctor may discern. You may have consumed bad water, bad lettuce. It could be an intestinal virus. Tell the doctor if you traveled recently or ate out at restaurants.
