Lactose intolerance or something else?

I find that in recent months if I eat something containing milk, cream etc I always need to dash to the loo. I have to go as often as 3-4 times a day when the usual for me before would be once. I have other symptoms - bloating, wind, sore stomach sometimes . This coincides with my skin breaking out in sore boil type things. Could this be related? I work as a cleaner so initially thought that could be due to the cleaning products but was unsure as surely it wouldn’t just be my face affected.

Really hard to say but I'm suffering with the same.

I've thought I was dairy intolerant for years and years.
Use lactose free milk, yoghurt and cheese, but still huge urgency for the loo in the mornings, 3 movements a day sometimes and very loose.
Eczema flares a bit too.

Terrible rumbly tummy after eating normal plain yoghurt, less after lactose free but still very soft poo- like cow pats.

You both need to see your GP. It is probably nothing serious but those symptoms could be something serious.

Mine is linked to diet @upfucked . I have had a stool test for blood - negative.
It settles down once I stop eating milk/dairy.
