Also see: Why Does Milk Bother Me? What Is Lactose Intolerance? How Is Lactose Intolerance Diagnosed? ... Additional Resources What Is Lactose Intolerance? Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the predominant sugar of milk. This inability results from a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is normally produced by the cells that line the small intestine. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into simpler forms that can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. When there is not enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose consumed, the results, although not usually dangerous, may be very distressing. While not all persons deficient in lactase have symptoms, those who do are considered to be lactose intolerant. The digestive tract Common symptoms include nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea, which begin about 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating or drinking foods containing lactose. The severity of symptoms varies depending on the amount of lactose each individual can tolerate. Some causes of lactose intolerance are well known. For instance, certain digestive diseases and injuries to the small intestine can reduce the amount of enzymes produced. In rare cases, children are born without the ability to produce lactase. For most people, though, lactase deficiency is a condition that develops naturally over time. After about the age of 2 years, the body begins to produce less lactase. However, many people may not experience symptoms until they are much older.

4. Health Issues Concerning Causes, Diagnosis And Treatment Of Lactose Intolerance Discussion and management of lactose intolerance. http://www.diagnosishealth.com/lactose1.htm

LACTOSE INTOLERANCE About the author Dr. Minocha ( http://www.diagnosishealth.com/minocha.htm ) is the Professor of Medicine and Director, Division of Digestive Diseases at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS and is the author of How to Stop Heartburn; Simple Ways to Heal Heartburn and Acid Reflux L actose intolerance (LI) is a common disorder that affects a quarter of the US population and may affect as many as 75% of the world population. The prevalence varies by race and ethnicity. It is more common among African-Americans, Hispanics and oriental population. In India, for example, it is seen in 25% of north Indian and 70% of south Indian population. Most common for is the adult-type or primary deficiency where there is usually deficiency of Lactase enzyme activity and not complete absence. Congenital lactase deficiency is rare. Milk intolerance suggests onset of symptoms after drinking milk and not necessarily lactose intolerance. Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance include bloating, stomach pains, diarrhea and gassiness. Symptoms may occur in some patients even when their lactase enzyme activity is within normal limits. This may occur in 5% of adults. Thus, some people erroneously think that their symptoms are due to lactase deficiency when that is not true. Lactose restricted diet may improve symptoms not only in lactase deficient patients but also in irritable bowel syndrome in adults and recurrent abdominal pain in kids.

5. Lactose Intolerance Management Includes Alternatives Like Yogurt And Chocolate M Insightful suggestion on the lactose intolerance management including alternatives like yogurt and chocolate milk. http://www.healthcastle.com/herb_lact.shtml

Award: Lactose Intolerance About 70% of the world's population just can't drink milk or eat dairy products (except yogurt) without getting an upset stomach. It's genetic and happens most often in people of African, Asian and Mediterranean descent. It's caused by a deficiency of lactase, an enzyme needed to absorb and digest the milk sugar, lactose. Undigested, the milk sugar lingers in the colon and ferments, creating intestinal distress - abdominal pain, bloating, gas and diarrhea - that sometimes defies diagnosis or is misdiagnosed as serious bowel disease. So don't believe you have a serious bowel disorder until you are sure milk is not at fault. How much upset milk causes depends on the severity of your lactase deficiency. From 60 to 80 percent of those with lactose intolerance can still drink a single glass of milk without distress and about half can drink two glasses of milk, says note researcher Dr. Dennis Savaiano of the University of Minnesota. One study found that normal people absorbed 92% of milk's lactose; those with lactose intolerance absorbed only 25% to 58%. The Yogurt Salvation Yogurt is safe because it comes predigested. In one of nature's small miracles, the bacteria in yogurt take over for the missing enzyme and digest much of the milk sugar for you. According to tests by Dr. Savaiano, two bacterial cultures, Streptococcus thermophilus and especially Lactobacillus bulgaricus, that transform milk into yogurt gobble up much of milk's lactose during fermentation, and once in the intestine eat much of the remaining lactose. Be sure the yogurt has live bacterial cultures, as nearly all commercial yogurts do; killed bacteria do not work. Plain yogurts have more anti-lactose activity than flavored yogurts. Buttermilk and acidophilus milk, although fermented, still cause as much distress in most people as plain milk.

NDC - Calcium Counseling Resource - LACTOSE MALDIGESTION/LACTOSE INTOLERANCE Dairy industry information sheet on lactase deficiencies, with advice about milk products that some Category Health Conditions and Diseases lactose intolerance...... up to two glasses of milk one consumed with breakfast, one with dinner - withoutdeveloping gastrointestinal symptoms (ie, lactose intolerance) (1). Despite http://www.nationaldairycouncil.org/lvl04/nutrilib/calccounsel/06_ccr_rev.htm

LACTOSE MALDIGESTION / LACTOSE INTOLERANCE Research shows that many individuals diagnosed with lactose maldigestion can consume the amount of lactose found in up to two glasses of milk - one consumed with breakfast, one with dinner - without developing gastrointestinal symptoms (i.e., lactose intolerance) (1). Despite this, some people still avoid consuming milk and milk products, the major sources of dietary calcium, because of perceived or real lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is the occurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms resulting from incomplete digestion of lactose, the major carbohydrate in human and cow's milk (2,3,4,5). Lactose-intolerant individuals may experience symptoms - cramps, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and/or nausea - anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours after consuming a food or beverage containing lactose (5). The severity of symptoms is influenced by the amount of lactose consumed in relation to an individual's lactase activity, and the diet in which lactose is consumed. Cultural and psychological attitudes, as well as biological factors, influence tolerance to milk, too (2,3). LACTOSE MALDIGESTION VERSUS LACTOSE INTOLERANCE A low level of the intestinal enzyme lactase, which breaks down lactose into simpler forms of sugar for absorption into the bloodstream, causes lactose maldigestion (2). Lactose maldigestion is not the same as lactose intolerance (i.e., symptoms). Lactose maldigestion is reduced digestion of lactose due to low levels of the intestinal enzyme lactase. Individuals with lactose maldigestion do not experience symptoms of lactose intolerance, the occurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms, unless the amount of lactose consumed exceeds the amount that can be broken down by available lactase (2). Not all individuals or lactose maldigesters with low lactase levels develop clinical symptoms of intolerance. Also, intolerance (i.e., symptoms) to milk and milk products may or may not result from lactose maldigestion (1,6,7).

Introduction to Lactose Intolerance What Is It? Lactose intolerance is the inability to properly digest milk sugar, also known as lactose . Symptoms of lactose intolerance include abdominal bloating, gaseousness, flatulence, cramping, and diarrhea following the consumption of food containing dairy products or by-products (e.g. whey). If you suspect that you might be lactose intolerant, try this simple test: Eliminate all dairy products from your diet for a couple days. Keep in mind that many foods (e.g. some breads cakes, sauces, and soups) that are not considered dairy foods contain some dairy products or by-products. After you've been on a dairy-free diet for a couple days, try drinking a glass of milk. If you experience abdominal bloating, gaseousness, flatulence, cramping, and diarrhea within the next few hours, chances are that you are lactose intolerant. You may want to consult with your doctor: If you have symptoms, but are still unsure they are caused by lactose intolerance If you suspect a health problem, such as intestinal disease, is causing lactose intolerance Lactose intolerance is not the same thing as milk allergy. People with milk allergies generally have trouble digesting milk proteins (as opposed to milk sugar). Some symptoms of milk allergy are respiratory problems and rashes.
