Dairy Foods
Dairy foods such as milk, cheese, or ice cream have been named culprits in bloated abdomen cases. This is basically due to the presence of lactose in these products. What does lactose have to do with it, you may ask? Yes, lactose is an important sugar in the body, but it’s often difficult to digest in some people. This is probably due to the reduced activity of certain enzymes in these people. It would require medications to digest or might cause the abdomen to feel bloated and full. This situation is different from lactose intolerance, where the body reacts adversely to lactose, triggering severe symptoms on intake. [3]
