Ok, now I buy it.
If lactase resolves the problem, milk protein can't be the culprit.

Still I wonder what happens to lactose that's not digested by the human
itself. I thought bacteria will take care of it.
It I ate a spoon of lactose, I think a lot of it will be left over and not
be digested by an enormous surge of lactase I may produce.

It could be, the culprit is a very unfriendly bacteria which
thrives on the lactose.
