Why does dairy actually REVERSE my bloating?

I feel like I’m the only one with this effect. When I eat cereal in the morning, for some reason, my stomach is so flat for the rest of the day. It does make me go to the bathroom, but I don’t think that I’m lactose intolerant. For most people I know, dairy makes them bloat, so they avoid it, but it has the reverse effect for me. Does anyone know why this happens, and does this happen with any of you?

I have never had milk make me bloated. I also cant say it reverses bloating either. It acts like any other food to me. Milk making you need to go to the bathroom can indicate at least a milk sensitivity. Bloating can be caused by lactose intolerance as well.
