Milk problem

6 posts in this topic

I haven't been drinking milk for a very, very long time apart from a little bit in my coffee. Whenever i drink a whole glass of it now, my stomach starts bloating and i get crazy cramps. What could this be? I'm not lactose intolerant or anything.

Hmm, how do you know that you are not lactose intolerant?
This sounds like a med-school exam question of someone who is lactose intolerant because bloating/cramps are textbook typical for that haha!

I don't think i am lactose intolerant because i never had problems with this. I used to drink tons of milk when i was young without any problems.

Could lactose intolerance develop throughout life even if there wasn't anything during childhood? How common is that?

Yea, very common. 

There was a video that explained it nicely but I can't find it now.

Yeah, thats absolutely possible - there are 3 distinguishable ways an intolerance can manifest: 
- Congenital complete genetic defect (very rare)
- Primary: Usually decrease in lactase activity in childhood/adolescence (only affects adults) 
- Secondary: As a result of a small intestine disease (e.g. celiac disease ; transient after gastroenteritis)

The frequencey varies enormously worldwide: lowest prevalence in Northwestern Europe, rates incline across southern Europe and the Middle East and are highest in Asia and most of Africa!

@Shiva99 : Easy way to find out! Iam 95% sure its just a simple lactose intolerance, which can develop throughout your life (as mentioned above). Get tested at your local general practitioner!
