Is just being gassy after Milk lactose intolerance?

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I’ve been consuming milk and milk products since childhood regularly. Roughly around 2-3 times in a day. Never had a problem with it. Being a lacto-ovo vegetarian it’s probably a crucial source of protein for me. I suppose a good amount of protein for me comes from whey, milk and paneer.

5 years back, I started taking fitness seriously and upped my protein intake to 120g per day, which led me to go from 1 glass of milk to 2 glasses. I also added a scoop of whey and some paneer (cottage cheese).

Everything was going fine, however, since the past 2 years I’ve noticed I just tend to get gassy and fart more often, not really burp. It’s gotten sort of annoying. Other than that there is no issue.

Can I be sure this lactose intolerance or sensitivity? Or is it just a protein thing?
