Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lactose would pass through the small intestine undigested and then reach the large intestine where it would be fermented by bacteria, leading to symptoms such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Therefore, lactose would be found in the large intestine of a person with lactose intolerance, but not in a lactose tolerant person who is able to break down lactose in the small intestine.
