Abdominal upset, such as gas, cramps, bloating, constipation or diarrhea, could mean you're not tolerating that glass of milk you had at breakfast or that slice of cheese you had in your lunch.

According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, millions of Americans suffer from lactose intolerance. Lactaid allows you to get the recommended daily dairy allowance, without the GI symptoms.
