8Constipation
Constipation is another major sign that exposes to individuals suffering from lactose intolerance. It involves a situation whereby the individual experiences hard infrequent stools, unstable bowel movements, bloating, discomfort in the stomach where may require excessive straining. Undigested lactose in the colon ferment and causes bacteria that result in the production of methane gas. The gas then slows down the time food takes to get down to through the gut, which leads to constipation in some individuals as more water gets drained from the system. You can always seek medical attention if the condition persists for some days where you also need to take in more water. [8]
