Have Diarrhea. Could I Have Lactose Intolerance Due To Taking Mass Gainer Supplement?
I m 18 years old and I started taking mass gainer about 2 -3 weeks ago. I also took whey protein during that time and took whey protein before I started taking mass gainer. I was wondering if I can develop lactose intolerance from all the dairy I m ingesting. Lately I ve been having diarrhea , and I m hoping its just the stomach flu that will go away soon, not lactose intolerance where I get diarrhea or feel uncomfortable everytime I eat diary. I haven t had any problems with dairy before, and I m a little worried, so whats the deal?

Hi
Lactose intolerance is because of the deficiency of lactase enzyme which dissolves the lactose .
There are very few causes of acquired temporary lactose intolerance and proteins are definitely not one of them.
Thanks.
