I think I'm Lactose Intolerance?!
Question: I think I'm Lactose Intolerance?
Okay, well for about one or two weeks now I haven't been able to drink/or eat any dairy products.. If I eat anything with milk, cheese, etc in it I get bloated, and I have all the symptoms of it.. My dad said that I should go to the doctors and see if I really am Lactose Intolerant, but idk.. What would the doctors do to check and see if I am?

You have probably become lactose intolerant.
Perhaps you could try soy milk or lactose free milk to see if it helps.
You don't necessarily need to see a doctor to find out if you're lactose intolerant. Stop eating dairy for a couple of weeks. Then, reintroduce it one day after the two-week period and see if your symptoms return. You may be able to use Lactaid pills or switch to non-dairy alternatives. Thankfully, there are lots of them out there.
Good luck!
