Will drinking milk cause diarrhea?

Many friends like to drink milk for breakfast, and eat it with bread, biscuits and other foods, because it is not only nutritious but also delicious. However, many friends always experience symptoms and phenomena such as stomach pain or even diarrhea within an hour after drinking milk. So what is the reason for diarrhea after drinking milk? Is there something wrong with the body?

In fact, milk and bread is indeed an excellent combination for breakfast. However, some people have poor stomachs or are allergic to milk, which can easily lead to diarrhea and stomach pain. Below we will analyze the main causes of diarrhea caused by drinking milk.

Why does drinking milk cause diarrhea?

There are several reasons for diarrhea after drinking milk, and different reasons should be treated differently.

1. People with lactose intolerance (90% of Chinese people are lactose intolerant) should control the dosage. Generally, 200 ml is fine, but some people can only drink a small amount of milk or even no milk at all, otherwise it will cause bloating and diarrhea.

2. It is not advisable to drink too much cold milk, because cold milk will affect the gastrointestinal motility, cause mild diarrhea, and make most of the nutrients in the milk unable to be absorbed and utilized by the human body. You should avoid drinking cold milk taken out of the refrigerator or cellar, especially if you have a cold.

3. Some people are allergic to milk and experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea after drinking it. People with respiratory symptoms such as rhinitis, asthma, or hives should avoid drinking milk.

4. Eating oranges right after drinking milk will affect digestion and absorption, and will also cause abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

5. Do not drink milk and chocolate together, because the calcium in milk combines with the oxalic acid in chocolate to form calcium oxalate, which can cause dry hair, diarrhea, calcium deficiency and slow growth and development.

What are the dietary methods for calcium supplementation?

1. Kelp and dried shrimp: Kelp and dried shrimp are high-calcium seafood, and they can also lower blood lipids and prevent arteriosclerosis. Kelp is a delicious dish whether cooked with meat or served cold after being cooked. Shrimp skin contains higher calcium, so using shrimp skin to make soup or stuffing is a good choice for daily calcium supplementation.

2. Soy products: Soybeans are high-protein food and also high in calcium. Other soy products are also good sources of calcium.

3. Animal bones: More than 80% of animal bones are calcium, but they are insoluble in water and difficult to absorb. Therefore, when making them into food, you can crush them in advance, add vinegar and cook them slowly over low heat. When eating, remove the floating oil and add some vegetables to make a delicious soup.

4. Vegetables: There are also many high-calcium varieties of vegetables.

The reasons for diarrhea after drinking milk include lactose intolerance, people who are allergic to milk itself, or eating oranges after drinking milk, etc., which can easily lead to diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating and other phenomena after drinking milk. If your physique is not suitable for drinking milk to supplement calcium, it is best to eat some soy products, kelp, vegetables, or even animal bones, which are also very high in calcium.
