Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have abdominal pain I have had it for a long time...my pcp does not know what to do...I am not constipated. I have had endometrosis, & many surgerys including removal of my ovaries&uterus, removal of my appendex, and gall bladder.... Could I be lactose intolerate?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, lactose intolerant patients can have severe cramps and diarrhea. You need to observe your diet schedule to know if you get cramps only when ingestion of foods containing lactose more like milk products. If so, avoidance of such foods will definitely relieve symptoms. Feel free to ask any doubts.
I hope this info helps you sort out your problems.
