I think I have it. When i put on 10 pounds mostly through the addition of milk my digestive system was totally messed up so since I have dropped it and replaced the calories elswhere.
Now if i have anything more then some milk with some cereal my digestive systemm seems to get hit hard again. Are there any supplements or is there any advice that could help this problem? It’s just, milk is so good to help with a weight gain, and preferably i still want to include it in my diet, but i suppose i may actually be intolerant.
Look you could also have an allergy to milk maybe mildly who knows. If you have insurance get some blood work done and you get get all sorts of tests done for food allergies/intolerances.
Try drinking raw milk, those who can’t drink pasteurized milk can drink raw milk fine with no problems. I don’t know if it’s just me or what but when you have to supplement your body to just drink/eat something that’s just not right.
Then again if you’re in a position where it’s one of the only things easily attainable as far as getting calories in. Get those pills or drink lactaid like mentioned above.

The symptoms of a dairy protein allergy are usually quite different than those from lactose intolerance.
It’s easiest to use lactose-free milk or lactase enzyme to rule out whether lactose is the issue first, before spending time and money on allergy testing.
BTW, pasteurized milk still contains lactose, so it won’t be of much help if the OP is lactose intolerant.
