Extractions: Imagine having to give up the delight of indulging in a chocolate sundae, inhaling a smooth strawberry milkshake, or just gulping down a refreshing glass of cold milk. That's what Mike Johnston had to do at 22. Now, at age 30, Johnston is functioning just fine - well, almost. This project manager for CK Solutions says when it comes to giving up one of life's delectables - milk - "life sucks." Johnston is lactose intolerant. Some are unable to stomach cheesecake. But, others are able to handle some mild cheeses, such as cheddar. What is lactose intolerance? Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the major carbohydrate or sugar in human and cow's milk. Some people, like Johnston, have a shortage of the enzyme lactase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down lactose into simpler sugars (glucose and galactose), which are absorbed into the bloodstream. There are three basic types of lactase deficiency that cause lactose intolerance: primary, secondary, and congenital.

Extractions: Understanding Lactose Intolerance Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest the milk sugar lactose, causing gastrointestinal symptoms of flatulence, bloating, cramps, and diarrhea in some individuals. This results from a shortage of the lactase enzymes which break down lactose into its simpler forms, glucose and galactose. Virtually all infants and young children have the lactase enzymes that split lactose into glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. Prior to the mid-1960s, most U.S. health professionals believed that these enzymes were present in nearly all adults as well. When researchers tested various ethnic groups for their ability to digest lactose, however, their findings proved otherwise: Approximately 70 percent of African Americans, 90 percent of Asian Americans, 53 percent of Hispanic Americans, and 74 percent of Native Americans were lactose intolerant. Studies showed that a substantial reduction in lactase activity is also common among those whose ancestry is Arab, Jewish, Italian, or Greek. In 1988, the

Extractions: How can I get enough calcium in my diet if I am lactose intolerant? See also... Lactose intolerance is a condition in which the body is not able to easily digest foods that contain lactose, or the natural sugar that is found in dairy products. Once lactose is in the body, it needs to be broken down into two simple sugars, glucose and galactose, to be absorbed into the blood stream. People who are lactose intolerant have a shortage of lactase enzymes that break down lactose into these sugars. An estimated 30 to 50 million Americans (about 25% of the United States population) are affected by lactose intolerance. While this condition is least common among Caucasians (about 15% of adults), it is widespread among other ethnic groups. It is estimated that 70% of African-American, 74% of Native American, 53% of Mexican-American, and 90% of Asian American adults are affected. What causes lactose intolerance?

Extractions: What are my treatment options? What is lactose intolerance? You're lactose intolerant when your intestines lack a certain enzyme, called lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in milk and other dairy products. Within 30 minutes to two hours of eating these foods, you may suffer cramps, gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Unfortunately, you can't reverse lactose intolerance. But by making a few changes in your eating habits or by using lactase tablets and drops, you can usually treat the symptoms well enough to enjoy your favorite ice cream or cheese. And, because most dairy products are so rich in calcium, you'll have an easier time getting enough of the mineral to keep your bones and teeth strong. How many people are lactose intolerant?

Lactose Intolerance In Patients Following Gastric Bypass For Morbid Obesity
lactose intolerance. lactose intolerance can be acquired after gastricbypass or other gastric surgeries by as many as 10% of patients.
http://www.thinnertimes.com/lactose_intolerance.htm

Extractions: Links Lactose Intolerance Lactose, the natural sugar found in milk products, is digested in the small bowel by means of the enzyme lactase. About 10% of adults in the United States are lactose intolerant. They do not have enough lactase to digest milk. When they eat milk or milk products, they develop crampy abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea. Lactose intolerance can be acquired after gastric bypass or other gastric surgeries by as many as 10% of patients. When a person with a normal stomach drinks milk, it accumulates in the stomach and then is released slowly into the small intestine. There is enough lactase available to handle a small amount of milk at a time. After gastric bypass, milk passes directly through the gastric pouch into the small bowel at a much higher rate. The milk overwhelms the available enzyme and the lactose intolerance symptoms occur.

Extractions: The College of Arts and Sciences has long encouraged its students to gain first-hand experience in research, or whatever form discovery takes in the discipline that interests them. In 1976 this program was established to help faculty and students with similar interests to connect, so that the students might become scholar-apprentices in faculty research projects. Besides learning research methods that are appropriate to the discipline, students gain awareness of their own research interests and abilities, self-discipline, new insight into the subject matter, and the pleasure of working with professors and other students who share a common interest. At present about 400 undergraduates engage in such projects for course credit each term. Others work as paid assistants in research projects, and many engage in research in the summer, either here or elsewhere. Emily Alisa Posner, Freshman What phenomena are you naturally curious about? What issues do you wish there were more answers to? At Cornell each student has the chance to partake in cutting edge research at the university level...That is one of the reasons I was first attracted to Cornell.

Lactose Intolerance, Diarrhea, And Allergy

Extractions: Breastfeeding Abstracts Lactose Intolerance, Diarrhea, and Allergy A complete allergy history of the parents is important in the diagnosis of infant food allergy. If one parent has allergic disease, the infant has a 30 percent risk of developing allergic disease. This risk doubles if both parents have allergic disease. In families with a high risk of atopic disease, the cord blood can be examined for high IgE levels. The presence of high levels of IgE may correlate with the occurrence of IgE-mediated disease. There are a number of studies in the literature which suggest that babies may become sensitized in utero if there is a strong family history of allergies. Mothers may be advised to avoid suspect foods during all or part of their pregnancy and to continue to avoid these foods during lactation. The research indicates that this practice does not decrease the incidence of allergy by two years of age, but it does delay the onset of allergy.

What is lactose intolerance? When your body is not able to break down lactose,you have lactose intolerance. How can I tell if I have lactose intolerance?
http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/lactose.html

Extractions: A Guide for Teens What is lactose? Lactose is the sugar in milk and in many other dairy products. Your body makes an enzyme called lactase, which breaks down the lactose so that you can digest it. Some people are born without the ability to make any lactase enzyme, other people may have very little, and some people may make less lactase enzyme as they grow older. The more lactase enzyme you have, the more dairy products you can eat. People who don't have a lot or any lactase enzyme cannot eat many dairy products. What is lactose intolerance? When your body is not able to break down lactose, you have lactose intolerance. The lactose can't be digested and causes nausea, cramps, bloating, gas and diarrhea. What is the difference between food intolerance and allergy? Food intolerance is when your body cannot digest all or some of a food. A food allergy is when your body has a reaction to something you eat, causing possible skin reactions, such as swelling and rashes, and in severe cases, breathing problems.

http://www.hivnet.ubc.ca/NLactose.html

Extractions: About the study: Diarrhea is a frequent and disabling problem in HIV infection. Becasue many cases of diarrhea in non-HIV infected individuals are improved by abstaining from lactose, physicians generally also advise such dietary restriction when diarrhea complicates HIV infection, assuming a similarity between these types of diarrhea. Despite this widespread practice of recommending lactose avoidance in this group, the risks and benefits of this teatment have never been rigorously studied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of lactose intake on stool volume (amount of diarrhea) and symptoms in HIV positive persons with chronic (long-standing) non-infectious diarrhea. The target enrollment for the study is 50 patients. Volunteers will take part in two phases : In the lactose phase, the patient will drink a glass of low fat milk (240 mL containing 12 g of lactose) followed by a collection of stool and an analysis of the gases present in the patient's breath; In the placebo phase, the patient will drink a lactose-free milk (placebo) followed by the same stool collection and breath test.

Extractions: General Welcome/Mission Health Centers Services Departments ... Links/Resources Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy products. People with lactose intolerance do not have enough of the enzyme lactase, which is required to digest lactose. A person with lactose intolerance who consumes milk or other dairy products may feel abdominal pain, gas, bloating, cramps, distention and/or diarrhea. These are signs that the digestive system cannot digest or absorb lactose, or can be signs of other medical conditions. Consult your clinician for a diagnosis. What causes lactose intolerance? A genetic trait causes some people to gradually make less lactase as they reach their teens or early twenties (they become increasingly lactose intolerant as they get older). Lactose deficiencies are more prevalent in certain ethnic groups, including African Americans, Asians, Jews, Mexicans, Native Americans and those of Mediterranean origin.

Text message services Information About NetDoctor Commercial opportunities NetDoctor.com Lactose intolerance Reviewed by Dr Alan Ogilvie , gastroenterologist Lactose intolerance is very common in Asia and Africa. For people with this disorder, a glass of milk can cause abdominal pain and diarrhoea due to the inability to absorb lactose. Lactose intolerance is the inability to absorb lactose - the predominant sugar in milk - into the digestive system. If lactose is not absorbed properly, it ferments and this results in abdominal pain, a bloated stomach and diarrhoea Lactose is a disaccharide, which means that it is composed of two other sugars bound together. In order for lactose to be absorbed, it must be split into those two smaller sugars. This split is performed by an enzyme called lactase, which is present in the lining of the small intestine. If the levels of the lactase enzyme are low or absent, then that splitting does not occur. The lactose is fermented by the bacteria in the large intestine and this produces excess gas and stomach rumbling and leads to diarrhoea.
