How is lactose digested in humans?

Lactose is digested by an enzyme commonly referred to as lactase (notice the slight but significant spelling difference). Lactase generally resides in the small intestine. Once lactose is broken down by lactase into its glucose and galactose components, they are readily absorbed and used throughout the body.

When lactose is not fully digested in the small intestine and proceeds to the large intestine, some of the resident bacteria cause it to ferment and produce lactate, small-chain fatty acids, and gases (e.g. hydrogen gas, carbon dioxide, methane). Humans experience a more favorable outcome in terms of comfort if digestion of lactose occurs in the small intestine, not in the large intestine.

Seems like anything not absorbed in the body becomes methane gas, so the butthole.
