    People who are diarrhea are better not to drink milk for the time being, because milk contains lactose. Digesting lactose depends on the lactase secreted by cells in the mucosa of the small intestine. When the intestine becomes inflamed, this layer of cells is destroyed, so the body temporarily cannot secrete lactase. Without lactase, lactose cannot be decomposed, it will stimulate the intestine, aggravate the symptoms of dehydration, diarrhea, and cause flatulence in the large intestine, which is not conducive to recovery.
