Nutrition for Lactose Intolerant persons
What is Lactose Intolerance?
Lactose is the natural sugar found in milk and milk products. Lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency or lack of the enzyme LACTASE, which is necessary to digest lactose.
It’s probably the most common food intolerance of all. Infants often become lactose intolerant after a bout of gastroenteritis. Symptoms in an infant can include foamy diarrhoea with nappy or diaper rash, slow weight gain and development, and vomiting. In adults the symptoms usually begin between half an hour and two hours after eating lactose and can include bloating, gas, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.
Experts believe that 75% of the adult population worldwide does not produce enough lactase and is at risk for some or all of the symptoms of lactose intolerance. Many people with lactose intolerance don't even know they have the condition, while some may be misunderstand the condition as having a serious bowel disease.
The Lactose Intolerance Test
How to tell if you are intolerant to Dairy milk
If you suspect you may be lactose intolerant, stop drinking any milk or eating any dairy products for at least two weeks.
If you feel better - and the gastrointestinal symptoms have diminished - you can do a "challenge" or "reintroduction" test to try to determine how much of which dairy foods you need to avoid. Drink a little milk or eat a little cheese and wait for two or three days to see what happens. It may sometimes take that long for symptoms of lactose intolerance to show up, say experts.
Your physician can give you more definitive tests to diagnose lactose intolerance.
