May 2002 Feature Home Events Jobs Funding ... Archives Milk Allergy and Lactose Intolerance Dr Harris Steinman Lactose intolerance and allergies may be more prevalent than you think: "Among those over the age of five, approximately 90-95% of black individuals and 20-25% of white individuals throughout the world will have a partial or complete lactose intolerance." There is a great deal of confusion between milk allergy and lactose intolerance, both adverse reactions attributable to milk. This article discusses the importance of both these conditions, their differences and what to do if you suffer from either condition What is milk? When we discuss milk allergy and lactose intolerance, we are referring to cow's milk. There are other types of milk available in the marketplace- goat's milk, soy milk, etc.-and these are not comparable. For example, soy milk does not result in lactose intolerance. Milk comprises water, protein, carbohydrates (a milk sugar called lactose), minerals, fats and a variety of other substances. There are over 30 different proteins in milk, and these are broadly categorised as members of the casein or whey group of proteins. When milk ferments, naturally or aided by chemicals in the dairy, the milk changes into a solid fraction (curd) and a watery fraction (whey). The solid fraction contains the proteins belonging to the casein group, in which there are 4 main proteins. The liquid portion contains most of the other proteins, and these belong mainly to the whey group of proteins.

Diagnosis 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.

LACTOSE INTOLERANCE Lactose intolerance has become a popular diagnosis for irritable babies in the Australian community. It is an overdiagnosed condition leading to unnecessary weaning of breastfed infants with no improvement in their irritable behaviour. It is rare before the age of three years unless there is some damage to the small intestine Lactose is a disaccharide and is the main form of carbohydrate in all mammalian milks. It comprises 7% of mature human milk. Lactose production in the breast occurs independently of dietary changes. Altering the amount of lactose in the maternal diet does not alter lactose production in the breast. It is present at a constant level throughout a feed and throughout the day. Lactase, an enzyme located in the brush border of the small intestinal mucosa breaks lactose down into glucose and galactose which are then absorbed. Any lactose which is not absorbed will pass through undigested into the large bowel. This may have several consequences: Water is drawn via osmosis into the large bowel. Bacteria ferment the lactose producing: short chain fatty acids including lactic acid which can be absorbed and used for energy gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen some of which is excreted through the lungs (giving rise to a positive breath hydrogen test)

By Robert Cohen Executive Director LACTOSE INTOLERANCE Fifty million Americans experience intestinal discomfort after consuming milk, cheese, or ice cream (Postgraduate Medicine, 1994;95). Symptoms include stomach pain, gas, and diarrhea. Lactose, a milk sugar, is made up of two other sugars, glucose and galactose. Galactose has been identified as a causative factor in heart disease, cataracts, and glaucoma. Most adults "lack" the enzyme, lactase, to break down lactose. Instead, lactose is broken down by bacteria in the lower intestines. Their own body wastes combine with those sugars to ferment into toxins causing bloating and cramps. Once a correct diagnosis is established, there is a simple cure: NOTMILK! In April of 1999, the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology (volume 28:3) reported: "Introduction of a lactose-free dietary regime relieves symptoms in most patients...who remain largely unaware of the relationship between food intake and symptoms."

Basic Treatment 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. While not all persons deficient in lactase have symptoms, those who do are considered to be lactose intolerant. Fortunately, lactose intolerance is relatively easy to treat by avoiding foods containing lactose. No treatment can improve the body's ability to produce lactase, but symptoms can be controlled through diet modification. Lactose Intolerance Diet - Lactase Dietary Supplements Between 30 and 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant. But even though lactose intolerance is widespread, it need not pose a serious threat to good health. People who have trouble digesting lactose can create their own lactose-intolerant diet by learning which dairy products and other foods they can eat without discomfort and which ones they should avoid. Many lactose intolerant sufferers can enjoy milk, ice cream, and other such products if they take them in small amounts or eat other food at the same time. Other lactose intolerant sufferers can use dietary supplements like lactase liquid or tablets to help digest the lactose.

GASTROENTEROLOGY GROUP OF NAPLES 1064 Goodlette Road Telephone: 649-1186 Perry Gotsis MD Raymond Phillips MD Susan Liberski MD TOPICS IN GASTROENTEROLOGY: LACTOSE INTOLERANCE Lactose intolerance Diagnostic Tests The most common tests used to measure the absorption of lactose in the digestive system are the lactose tolerance test, the hydrogen breath test, and the stool acidity test. A doctor can tell you where to go for these tests, which are performed on an outpatient basis at a hospital or clinic. The lactose tolerance test can be given to older children as well as adults. Before the test, patients fast (do not eat), and blood is drawn to measure the fasting blood glucose (blood sugar) level. Patients then drink a large amount of a liquid that contains 50 grams of lactose. Blood samples are taken over a 2-hour period to determine the glucose level, which tells how well the body is able to digest lactose. When the lactose reaches the digestive system, the lactase enzyme breaks the lactose down into glucose and galactose. The liver then changes the galactose into glucose. If this process occurs normally, the glucose enters the bloodstream and raises the fasting blood glucose level. If lactose is incompletely absorbed, the blood glucose level does not rise, and a diagnosis of lactose intolerance is confirmed. The hydrogen breath test measures the amount of hydrogen in the breath. Normally no hydrogen is detectable in the breath. However, undigested lactose leads to the formation of various gases, including hydrogen, by bacteria in the colon. The hydrogen is absorbed from the intestines, carried through the bloodstream to the lungs, and exhaled. In the test, the patient drinks a lactose-loaded beverage, and the breath is analyzed at regular intervals. Hydrogen in the breath means improper digestion of lactose. Certain foods, medications, and smoking can affect the test's accuracy and may need to be avoided before. The lactose tolerance and hydrogen breath tests are not given to infants and young children who are suspected of having lactose intolerance.

Patient Education Patient Pamphlets Lactose Intolerance Printer Friendly Format Email this Article Do you often feel bloated after eating? Do you often have abdominal gas or cramps an hour after meals. If so, you may be one of 50 million Americans who are unable to digest milk products. Milk is an ideal food for an infant, but by mid to late childhood many people actually begin to lose their ability to digest this "perfect food." If you suffer from an intolerance to dairy products, this pamphlet may help answer some of your questions. What Is Lactose Intolerance? First of all, it is not a milk allergy, but rather an inability to digest one component of milk - lactose. Lactose is the sugar is naturally found in the milk of all mammals, but is not found anywhere else in nature. Our body cannot absorb lactose because the molecule is too large to pass through the small intestinal wall and enter our blood stream. The lactose molecule must first be split into two smaller molecules (glucose and galactose) that we can absorb. This is done by an enzyme located in the intestinal wall called lactase. As we age, some of us lose significant amounts of this enzyme, and we can no longer digest milk sugar. This common condition is called lactose intolerance. (Another name often used is lactase deficiency.) What Are The Symptoms?

ADVERSE REACTIONS TO FOOD Lactose Intolerance Lactose or milk sugar is a disaccharide consisting of glucose and galactose. It is found only in the milk of mammals and is the main carbohydrate found in milk and other dairy products. Lactose intolerance is the most commonly diagnosed adverse reaction to cows milk among adolescents and adults. The main symptoms of lactose intolerance include flatulence, bloating, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. The symptoms are caused by undigested lactose passing from the small intestine into the colon. In the colon the bacteria normally present ferment unabsorbed lactose producing short chain fatty acids and gases (CO , H , CH ). Gas production might result in flatulence, bloating and distension pain. Unabsorbed lactose also has an osmotic effect in the gastrointestinal tract, drawing fluid into the lumen and causing diarrhoea. The terminology used in describing lactose intolerance is defined below: Lactose is the main carbohydrate in milk products, and comprises a disaccharide consisting of glucose and galactose Lactase is an enzyme located in the small intestine that hydrolyses lactose to its components: glucose and galactose Lactase deficiency or Lactase non-persistence is a decreased activity of lactase in the small intestine Lactose maldigestion occurs as a result of lactase deficiency or non-persistence. Lactose cannot be fully hydrolysed and absorbed in the portal circulation from the small intestine but passes into the colon

Lactose Intolerance Introduction Checklist Symptoms Treatments ... References Lactose intolerance is the impaired ability to digest lactose (the naturally occurring sugar in milk ). The enzyme lactase is needed to digest lactose, and a few children and many adults do not produce sufficient lactase to digest the milk sugar. The condition is rare in infants. Only one-third of the population worldwide retains the ability to digest lactose into adulthood. Most adults of Asian, African, Middle Eastern, and Native American descent are lactose intolerant. In addition, half of Hispanics and about 20% of Caucasians do not produce sufficient lactase as adults. A simple test for lactose intolerance is to drink at least two 8-ounce glasses of milk on an empty stomach and note any gastrointestinal symptoms that develop in the next four hours. The test should then be repeated using several ounces of cheese (which does not contain much lactose). If symptoms result from milk but not cheese, then the person has lactose intolerance. If symptoms occur with both milk and cheese, the person may be allergic to dairy products (very rarely can lactose intolerance be so severe that even eating cheese will cause symptoms). In addition to gastrointestinal problems, one study has reported a correlation in women between lactose intolerance and a higher risk of depression and PMS However, this study is only preliminary and does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship.

Would it be OK for me to drink lactose-free milk instead of regular milk? What about taking a pill to help me break down the lactose in yogurt and cheese?

Can lactose intolerance be treated or prevented? How can I tell if my child is lactose intolerant? If your child is lactose intolerant, it means that he can't produce enough lactase, the enzyme necessary to digest lactose, the primary sugar in cows' milk and other dairy products. Between 5 and 15 percent of Caucasians and more than 80 percent of people of African and Asian descent eventually become lactose intolerant. This can happen as early as age 2 or 3, but usually starts later in childhood or early adulthood. (It's extremely rare for a baby to be born without the ability to produce lactase.) If your child is starting to become lactose intolerant, he may have gas or diarrhea or become bloated beginning about 30 minutes to two hours after eating or drinking dairy products. Symptoms tend to be worse the more dairy foods your child has had. Some lactose intolerant people can have a certain amount of dairy without symptoms; others will be uncomfortable every time they have any foods containing lactose. Also, some children become temporarily lactose intolerant (for a week or so) after a gastrointestinal illness, which can damage the lining of a normal digestive tract and render it unable to produce as much lactase as usual. That's why many parents with young children are told to hold off on dairy products after their child has gone through a bout of

Lactose Intolerance Lactose Intolerance Home First of all, you probably aren't lactose intolerant, even if you've been told you are. The majority of supposedly lactose intolerant people are not, and can eat ice cream and small amounts of milk. ( Williams, Nutrition and Diet Therapy , 6th ed, page 146). It is my understanding that the definitive medical test is the breath hydrogen assay, which you can have your doctor arrange for you to have done. Only about one in three people initially diagnosed lactose intolerant will turn out to be truly so. If you are really hooked on the white of the cow (and I confess that this includes me), try limiting yourself to yogurt, kefir, and aged cheeses. These and other cultured milk products are very digestible. Speaking as a former dairyman (I milked over one hundred head twice a day), I will say that fluid milk is perhaps the least desirable dairy product of all, and is also the most likely form to provoke a reaction. I personally speculate that lactose intolerance may be mostly the result of a poor colon bacteria environment, from eating too much of the wrong foods, or even too much of the right foods.
