Will I develop more l actase, i.e., the ability to digest milk, as time goes on and I drink more milk, or will I have to take Lactaid milk for the rest of my life (it's not available in some countries). Dear Alice, What are the symptoms of lactose intolerance (i.e., how long after taking a milk product will symptoms generally begin, and what are the typical symptoms), and how do they differ from irritable bowel syndrome? Dear Readers #1 and 2, Lactose intolerance is a condition in which the milk sugar lactose cannot be digested because of a partial or full deficiency of the lactase enzyme that's needed to break it down. With lactose intolerance, whatever lactose that remains undigested in the intestines attracts water, which results in gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort, bloating, gas, cramps, and diarrhea. Normal GI bacteria also ferment the undigested lactose, which exacerbates the symptoms of lactose intolerance. Symptoms usually occur with in one to two hours of ingesting a food containing lactose. Lactose intolerance is common, affecting nearly three-quarters of the world's population. Lactose intolerance is most prevalent among blacks, Asians, South Americans, and Native Americans. It's least prevalent among people of Western and Northern Europe an ancestry, particularly the Swedes and Danish.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Food choices and health Milk allergy or lactose intolerance? Originally Published: May 02, 2003 Dear Alice, This may sound like a dumb question... But I really am unsure. What is the difference between a milk allergy and lactose intolerance? Or are they one in the same? I was in an accident when I was 14. I had emergency surgery on my liver and spleen. After about the age of 20, I have developed severe mad dashes to the restroom after eating anything dairy. But I have a lot of Sinus allergies... that seem to flair up after eating milk products. Although generally milk products do cause thickening of the mucus... I was wondering if severe congestion also goes with it? I no longer eat milk products, of course. But I recently read about a child with a milk allergy who could not breathe through his nose afterward... accompanied by severe coughing. I am now 40 and learned my lesson well... But still curious and always looking for additional info and answers!! Thanks, Kathy

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

Search Encyclopedia: List of Topics Print This Page  General Gastroenterology Lactose intolerance Digestive system organs Definition: Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and other dairy products. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme lactase. Alternative Names: Lactase deficiency; Milk intolerance; Disaccharidase deficiency; Dairy product intolerance Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Lactose intolerance occurs when the small intestine does not produce enough of the enzyme lactase. Babies' bodies produce this enzyme so they can digest milk, including breast milk. Before humans became dairy farmers, most people did not continue to drink milk, so their bodies did not produce lactase after early childhood. People from cultures in which adult consumption of milk and milk products occurred earliest are less likely to suffer from lactose intolerance than those from areas where dairy farming began more recently. As a result, lactose intolerance is more common in Asian, African, African-American, Native American, and Mediterranean populations than it is among northern and western Europeans. Lactose intolerance can begin at various times in life. In Caucasians, it usually starts to affect children older than five years of age. In African-Americans, lactose intolerance often occurs as early as two to three years of age.

Member of Warning Quick Facts Pocket Pets Casper (Albino Sugar Glider) Sugar Gliders As Pets? ... Splish splash. Are Sugar Gliders Lactose Intolerant? Those readers that frequent the internet may have noticed several articles written about sugar glider nutrition that state that gliders are lactose intolerant and, therefore, should not be fed dairy products. However, this information is misleading. There have been very few studies done specifically on sugar gliders but there have been numerous studies on wallabies and kangaroos (macropods). Macropods are lactose intolerant. Their milk contains low levels of this carbohydrate or sugar. If they are fed higher levels than that which they were designed to consume, they have a tendency to bloat and develop colic and diarrhea, which are the common clinical signs associated with lactose intolerance. In the absence of information collected specifically from sugar glider studies, there has been a tendency to group gliders together with other marsupials. But what applies to macropods doesn't always apply to sugar gliders and lactose intolerance is a case in point. While gliders and macropods are both marsupials, that is where their similarity ends. We would not presume to compare a deer to a flying squirrel just because they are both placental mammals, so why insist on making such a faulty comparison between two very different marsupial mammals? It is true that sugar gliders have low levels of the carbohydrate lactose in their milk but they are able to metabolize higher amounts because their milk contains the enzyme beta-galactosidase, which is able to metabolize the excess lactose quite successfully.

reproduced from Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine URL: www.pcrm.org/health/Info_on_Veg_Diets/lactose_intolerance.html (articolo in italiano) 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 American 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.

Baby Feeding problems: Lactose intolerance Approved by the BabyCenter Medical Advisory Board By the BabyCenter editorial staff The problem What you can do Related Links The problem This is a condition in which the body can't tolerate lactose, or milk sugars, because it doesn't produce enough lactase, an enzyme that breaks down these sugars. Thirty minutes to two hours after eating a dairy-based food, a lactose-intolerant person will have bloating, cramping, gas, and diarrhea. What you can do The problem is common among Asians, Africans, and Native Americans, but rare among Northern Europeans. Those prone to the condition usually show symptoms around age 3 or 4, when the body is most likely to stop producing lactase. Before this age, children are rarely affected. (However, babies may become intolerant for a brief period following a gastrointestinal illness or a round of antibiotics. If your child shows symptoms following a feeding, talk to your pediatrician about temporarily giving your child a substitute formula.) If you suspect your child is lactose intolerant, don't eliminate all dairy products from her diet. Dairy foods are such a big part of a child's recommended diet because they provide calcium needed for growing bones. Those who are lactose intolerant can often handle small amounts of dairy if they eat it with other foods. Lactose-free milk and dairy products are also options.

Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Lactose intolerance is a common cause of abdominal cramping, bloating and diarrhea. It occurs after affected individuals consume foods containing lactose, the predominant sugar in milk. This condition is caused by insufficient levels of the intestinal enzyme lactase, which breaks down milk sugar into simpler forms that can then be absorbed into the blood stream. When there is not enough lactase in the small intestine to digest the amount of lactose consumed, the undigested lactose rapidly passes into the colon. Bacteria in the colon then break down some of the lactose, producing hydrogen gas as a byproduct. The remaining lactose also draws water into the colon, causing diarrhea, bloating and flatulence.

Lactose intolerance is one example of food intolerance. The term "food intolerance" denotes a non-immunologic adverse reaction to a food. In the case of lactose intolerance it is due to an 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 intestines. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into simpler forms that can be absorbed into the blood stream. Congenital Lactase Deficiency This is a rare condition (less than 50 cases are known) in which the individual cannot produce lactase. Watery diarrhoea occurs after breast-feeding or milk ingestion. Primary (Late-onset) Lactase Deficiency Lactase levels are high in all mammals following birth. In most mammals, however, lactase levels decline after the infant is weaned. Man is the only mammal that may retain lactase activity into adulthood. The gradual lactase disappearance usually does not begin until the child reaches pre-school age (2-6 years), although it can also begin at virtually any time later in life. The timing and rate of decline is genetically determined.

(PhotoDisc) Ditching Dairy By Christine Haran Many Americans can remember chugging down that obligatory glass of milk at dinner, so that they would be able to eat ice cream for dessert. But some of these kids found that, later in life, milk and ice cream no longer offered the same rewards but instead caused uncomfortable gastrointestinal problems. Between 30 and 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant, meaning that they have low levels of the enzyme required to break down lactose, the natural sugar found in milk. The degree of intolerance varies widely, however, and being lactose intolerant doesn't rule out eating all dairy products. In fact, foods such as hard cheeses and yogurt won't cause symptoms. This is crucial to understand, says Sheila Crowe, MD, an associate professor of internal medicine at the University of Virginia and American Gastroenterological Association spokesperson, so that calcium requirements can be met to keep the bones healthy.
