Frequent indigestion after consuming dairy foods, should I take digestive enzymes?

Question
Hello doctor, I am 44 years old. I find that eating indigestion when using dairy foods, ice cream, butter or drinking milk causes bloating and even diarrhea. So what medicine should I take to get rid of this condition? Can I take digestive enzymes regularly? Thanks for the advice doctor.

Hello! Her condition may be related to gastrointestinal disease. The doctor needs to see her to find out some more information, recommend some tests and diagnostic procedures to have a treatment. The use of digestive enzymes also depends on the type, because some digestive enzymes are not good quality that may not be good for your medical condition.
You should register for an examination at an internal digestive or gastroenterology clinic of the Vinmec Health System hospitals for a more thorough examination and consultation.
Thank you for trusting, sending questions to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
