Everyone has explained the gas and bloating. The second problem is diarrhea.

That's because you can't absorb lactose through the intestine. The molecule is too big and humans don't have specific transporters for it. This means you get a high amount of lactose in your bowels.

Physics tell us things always strive to go from a high to a low concentration, essentially diluting it. If the lactose can't move from your bowels into the bloodstream, it will instead drag lots of water from the blood into the intestines.

Don't know if they put radioactive waste or something in ORT where you live. Effervescent tablets are available literally everywhere and are recommended by absolutely every doctor, nurse, pharmacy and medical institution especially in hot weather. The only people who maybe should avoid them are kidney patients on low sodium diets and they will be specifically told so by their doctors.
