Am I lactose intolerant?

I drink lactose free milk, and I am fine. I eat yogurt and cheese and I am fine. But today I ate ice cream, and my stomach hurts so bad! Is this a lactose intolerant thing? It's weird that it's only ice cream.

    The majority of people are lactose intolerant to some degree. Typically the more processed the dairy is the worse you will react (so 1% milk will be worse than 2%) but if you have a lot of dairy in a day that can also bother you. It could be that brand of ice cream if it was more processed, it could be how much other dairy products you ate in the day, or it could just be that you caught a bug and the ice cream aggravated it.

    I would say yes. The same thing happens to me when I eat High Fat dairy products. heavy cream, whole milk, sour cream and ice cream. If you want to indulge in dairy I would look for low fat items. Sorry about your troubles, I've soo been there. :/

    No, your probably not. But if you drink regular milk and your stomach hurts, you might be.
