How do you know if your lactose intolerant? Or have an allergy

Question

I ate some beans and sausage with cheese on then afterwards I drank some milk. Normally I would be fine but I have had the runs afterwards. I'm starting I think I might have like lactose intolerance. How can I be sure?

Answer

Well lactose intolerance doesn’t just happen out of no where. Its probably just a chance thing it happened

Answer

I would suspect the beans first. Lots of fiber there that cam loosen stools, especially if you don't eat them often.

Answer

If its not every time you have milk, then it's not lactose intolerance. My husband gets sick every time he has milk (milk intolerance) and with my daughter she breaks out into a rash (milk allergy).

Answer

It could’ve been the beans lol honestly the only way to be 100% sure would be to go and get an allergy test.

Answer

No must have just been the food it doesn’t just all the sudden happen like that my son is lactose intolerant and has been since forever

Answer

I have both. I break out in hives if even a drip of milk gets on my skin which is the allergy and I used to through up immediately after consuming milk and then as I got older I’d just have diarrhea which is an intolerance. Allergies cause flare ups like hives, rashes and acne. Intolerances cause indigestion, nausea, etc.

Answer

Quickest way to find out is an allergy test. However, it could also just be a sensitivity cause by eating too much dairy. My recommendation would be to cut dairy out of your diet completely for at least a week then slowly introduce it back into your diet and see how you feel. Sometimes our bodies just need a break
