    Without lactase, lactose cannot be broken down, it will stimulate the intestine, aggravate the symptoms of dehydration, diarrhea, and cause flatulence in the large intestine, which is not conducive to recovery. It should be noted that you can drink yoghurt during diarrhea because the lactose in it is already used by lactic acid bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria can also provide lactase.
