Can I drink milk if I am bloated?

It is better not to drink milk when you are bloated because patients with bloating often have damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa, and milk is a high-protein food that can affect gastrointestinal digestion. Milk produces more gas, which can aggravate symptoms such as bloating and indigestion, and others aggravate diarrhea due to lactose intolerance in milk, so it is better for patients with bloating not to drink milk. When the condition is gradually stabilized and the symptoms of abdominal distension are relieved, you can gradually eat noodle soup, rice porridge, egg custard and a small amount of warm milk, observe the gastrointestinal tract reaction, and at the same time, advise patients to avoid raw, cold, hard, spicy and greasy food, eat less and more meals, avoid overeating, maintain a good rest and ensure sufficient sleep to promote recovery.
