KidsHealth Kids Kids' Health Problems At your best friend's sleepover party last weekend, everyone pigged out on cheese pizza and ice cream. Then they flopped on their sleeping bags for a night of DVDs. You were having a great time, but after about an hour you started feeling gross. First your stomach felt really full, almost too full. Then it started to ache and you had a lot of gas - phew! Before long, you were running to the bathroom because you had to poop and you couldn't wait! Oh, no! You hadn't been feeling sick before, and no one else felt yucky. So why was your stomach in knots? Maybe you have lactose intolerance (say: lak -tose in- tah -ler-ans). What Is Lactose Intolerance? People who have lactose intolerance have trouble digesting (say: dy- jest -ing) lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and other dairy foods. Lactose intolerance does not mean you are allergic to milk, but you probably will feel bad after drinking milk, eating cheese, ice cream, or anything else containing lactose. As with everything else you eat, your body needs to digest lactose to be able to use it for fuel. The small intestine normally makes a special substance, called

KidsHealth Teens Nutrition Basics Jessie was so embarrassed! About an hour after chowing down on pizza and ice cream with a group of friends, her stomach suddenly started rumbling, and she began farting over and over. "Eew, what's that smell?" joked one of her friends, pinching her nose. Then Jessie's stomach began to ache and she had to run to the restroom every few minutes. Jessie hadn't eaten a bad anchovy. In the excitement of an afternoon hanging out at the mall, she had forgotten to watch her dairy intake. She had eaten more dairy than her body could handle because of her lactose intolerance. What Is Lactose Intolerance and What Causes It? Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest a sugar called lactose that is present in milk and dairy products. Normally when you eat something containing lactose, the body produces an enzyme called lactase in the small intestine. Lactase breaks down lactose into simpler sugar forms called glucose and galactose , which are then easily absorbed into the bloodstream and turned into energy - fuel for our bodies. People with lactose intolerance do not produce enough of the lactase enzyme to break down lactose. Instead undigested lactose sits in the gut causing gas, bloating, and stomach cramps, and then usually diarrhea because the intestine cannot absorb the lactose-containing foods.

Lactose intolerance is a set of symptoms resulting from the body's inability to digest the milk sugar called lactose. Lactose is commonly found in dairy-based foods and beverages, and is digested in the intestines by the enzyme lactase. Lactase breaks down lactose so it can be absorbed into the bloodstream. When the body does not produce enough lactase, lactose cannot be digested which may result in lactose intolerance. Individuals may have varying degrees of intolerance to lactose. Between 30 to 50 million Americans suffers from lactose intolerance. In fact, 75 percent of adults worldwide do not produce adequate amounts of the lactase enzyme, and therefore may experience some or all of the symptoms of lactose intolerance. If you are lactose intolerant, you share this condition with many people. It is estimated that 90 percent of Asian-Americans are lactose intolerant and 75 percent of all African and Native Americans, Jews, and Hispanics in the U.S. have insufficient levels of the lactase enzyme and may experience some or all symptoms. What are the symptoms?

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

Lactose intolerance at a glance What is lactose intolerance? Lactose intolerance is an inability to digest and absorb lactose (the sugar in milk) that results in gastrointestinal symptoms when milk or products containing milk are drunk or eaten. What causes lactose intolerance? Lactose is a larger sugar that is made up of two smaller sugars, glucose and galactose. In order for lactose to be absorbed from the intestine and into the body, it must first be split into glucose and galactose. The glucose and galactose then are absorbed by the cells lining the small intestine. The enzyme that splits lactose into glucose and galactose is called lactase, and it is located on the surface of the cells that line the small intestine. Lactose intolerance is caused by reduced or absent activity of lactase that prevents the splitting of lactose (lactase deficiency). Lactase deficiency may occur for one of three reasons, congenital, secondary or developmental.

Getting Enough Calcium WHAT IS LACTOSE? LACTOSE IS THE SUGAR found in milk. It is present in the milk of all mammals, but is not found anywhere else in nature. Manufacturers sometimes use lactose as a filler in products containing artificial sweeteners and also in some tablets. Lactose is normally broken down in the small intestine into its component sugars, glucose and galactose, under the action of an enzyme called lactase. Return to Index LACTOSE INTOLERANCE MOST MAMMALS PRODUCE the lactase enzyme until they are weaned, then stop. Humans are unique mammals because they continue to produce lactase throughout life. Most people of Anglo-Saxon origin keep producing lactase and rarely develop lactase intolerance. But, from many parts of Asia, Africa, the Middle East and some Mediterranean countries and the Australian aboriginal people don't. Many gradually produce less lactase and develop lactose intolerance. Without sufficient lactase enzyme, the lactose sugar is not digested normally in the small intestine. Instead, it passes to the large intestine where it is fermented into bacteria. This fermentation can cause excessive amounts of wind as well as bloating and pain. Some people develop diarrhoea.

Definition of lactose intolerance Lactose Intolerance has become an increasingly familiar disease to North American residents. Gastrointestinal upsets following the ingestion of dairy products is the first sign that you may be developing lactose intolerance. DESCRIPTION bodyOffer(22448) Lactose Intolerance is diagnosed when one has significant difficulty digesting cow's milk. Lactose is the primary sugar in milk and other dairy products made from milk. SYMPTOMS Excessive abdominal sounds. Gas and bloating. Painful cramps following a meal rich in dairy products. Diarrhea. Nausea. Possible vomiting. CAUSES Lactase is an enzyme normally found in the human body. Lactase is necessary to digest all milk products, with the exception of mother's milk. When a body lacks this basic enzyme, the sugars in dairy products absorb large amounts of fluid and cause diarrhea and other symptoms listed above. Short-lived episodes of lactose intolerance are common in small children after suffering gastroenteritis or other viruses, which may damage the lining of the intestine. However, lactose intolerance almost always develops in late adolescence or early adulthood. Lactose intolerance is sometimes an inherited disorder, though there are no exact causes known which produce this disease or its symptoms. DANGERS Because the human body requires calcium, it is never advisable to just stop consuming milk or other dairy products.

Search Lactose Intolerance The "Bad Breath" Connection by Sue Spataro, RN, BSN Join our health discussion groups What Bad Breath Can Really Mean An all too common story.... Emma loved cheese. She loved yogurt, milkshakes, and creamy macaroni and cheese since she was a toddler. There was nothing better than a frosty bowl of ice cream. Her older sister noticed that Emma, who was about 12 years old, was beginning to stay in the bathroom longer and longer; with the door locked. Her parents chalked this up to teen-age privacy and nothing more. But along with this Emma was grouchy and seemed irritable most of the day. And her bad breath was so strong that it seemed it could peel the paint off the walls. Again her family chalked it up to teen-age growing pains. About a month after her older sister noticed Emma logging marathon bath room time, Emma decided to talk with her mother. Emma usually wasn't one to sit down and actually start conversations but this particular morning she was waiting for her mother right at the kitchen table, all geared up.

People with lactose intolerance do not have enough of the enzyme lactase, which is required to digest lactose. Symptoms 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. Causes 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. Lactose intolerance can also occur if you have been consuming dairy foods regularly and stop for a period of time. Reintroducing these foods into your diet may result in symptoms of lactose intolerance.

M alabsorption of dietary lactose in the small intestine results in gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, passage of loose, watery stools, and excessive flatus. Lactose intolerance is generally a lifelong inherited condition but can be a temporary result of an infection or other insult to the jejunal mucosa. Recognition of this prevalent condition is important, as it is easily managed by simple dietary adjustments. Accurate diagnosis of lactose intolerance can significantly relieve patient anxiety and avoid inappropriate investigation and treatment. The amount of ingested lactose required to produce symptoms is usually about 8 to 12 oz of milk.

Additional Reading Even though lactose intolerance is a widespread problem, it need not pose a serious threat to good health. People who have trouble digesting lactose can learn, by testing themselves, which dairy products and other foods they can eat without discomfort and which ones they should avoid. Many will be able to enjoy milk, ice cream, and other such products if they take them in small amounts or eat other kinds of food at the same time. Others can use lactase liquid or tablets to help digest the lactose. Even older women and children who must avoid milk and foods made with milk can meet most of their special dietary needs by eating greens, fish, and other calcium-rich foods that are free of lactose. A carefully chosen diet (with calcium supplements if the doctor recommends them) is the key to reducing symptoms and protecting future health. Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, which is the predominant sugar of milk. Close to 50 million American adults are lactose intolerant. Certain ethnic and racial populations are more widely affected than others. As many as 75 percent of all African-American, Jewish, Native American, and Mexican-American adults, and 90 percent of Asian-American adults are lactose intolerant. The condition is least common among people of northern European descent.
