I can consume yoghurt fine but as soon as i have a reasonable quantity of milk (let's say 200 - 400ml), my stomach feels screwed. Repeated churns, the runs etc.
could this be some form of lactose intolerance? If it was, i'd expect I'd have the same problem with yoghurt too, but i'm fine with yoghurt.
It could be how it is processed. I read a story about a guy from the Philipines that drank fresh milk strait from the cow and was ok but when in USA the processed milk messed him up with similar symptoms as your are describing.
On a similar note I would sometimes get upset stomach in the morning with pain and what not. Ever since I have started drinking some form of alcohol nightly it has disappeared. I kid you not. If you drink it right before bed it somehow stops the pain.
thanks guys. Yea as Kindred said, it could even be due to processing. I'm gonna try some of those other milk brands first like Zymil, HF's long life or Devondale . If they still fail, then i'll go see my doctor.
I try to use doctor as a last resort because it's just annoying to book an appointment, wait there for 2 hours with all those depressed, sick people and then have the appointment etc.

Rasika, what you've described is a classic case of lactose intolerance. You (and I) can tolerate yogurt because yogurt is no longer milk though it originated from it. The culture (bacteria) that is added to the yogurt made sure the lactose in milk has been digested by the enzyme lactase which is produced by the said bacteria.
Cheese goes through a different process than adding bacteria; it's the fermentation, near zero water content, and much higher (concentrated) fat content that insures a problem free tummy environment.
So it's basically bacteria and fermentation, two steps taken to change what was to what has become!
PS: Wine and vinegar is another classic that comes to mind here… according to some, the simplest way to transform one into the other is to leave an open, 3/4 filled bottle of wine in a warm place for a couple of weeks.
