Hello Amninder Singh ji,
Thank you for your question. Getting loose motion immediately after drinking milk or milk tea could be a sign of a specific digestive issue. Here’s what it may indicate and how you can manage it:
This condition occurs when your body cannot digest lactose, a natural sugar found in milk and dairy products.
When lactose isn’t digested properly, it ferments in the gut, leading to:
Loose motion
Bloating
Gas or cramps
Sometimes nausea
Lactose intolerance can develop at any age, even if you previously tolerated milk well.
Avoid milk, tea with milk, curd, paneer, and other dairy items temporarily
Try lactose-free milk or switch to plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat
Drink plain black tea or lemon tea instead of milk tea
Observe if the symptoms stop after eliminating dairy
To diagnose the issue properly, a doctor may ask:
Since when are these symptoms happening?
Do you get similar reactions with other dairy products like curd or cheese?
Any history of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or gut infection?
Any recent change in diet, stress, or medications?
Tests like a lactose tolerance test or stool analysis might be recommended if symptoms persist.
