Understanding lactose intolerance What is lactose intolerance? lactose intolerance is the term used for people (like me) who cannot digest dairy products.
http://lactoseintolerant.org/02_about.html

Extractions: Understanding Lactose Intolerance Lactose Intolerance is the term used for people (like me) who cannot digest dairy products. We were born without or have lost the digestive enzyme enabling us to digest most milk and dairy products containing...lactose. The amount of lactase in the digestive system decreases as one gets older; you may have been able to digest milk as a child but now experience cramps, bloating, canker sores, yeast infections, diarrhea and gas when you consume milk. (It only gets better from here, really, not much more about gas, I promise.) Lactose is the ingredient in foods which affects the lactose intolerant negatively. (Note that lactase is not the same thing as lactose lactose (lak'tos) noun

Management of lactose intolerance, including food alternatives like yogurt and chocolate milk.

Extractions: How prevalent is Lactose Intolerance? About 70% of the world's population just can't drink milk or eat dairy products (except yogurt) without getting an upset stomach. Lactose Intolerance is genetic and happens most often in people of African, Asian and Mediterranean descent. Lactose Intolerance is caused by a deficiency of lactase, an enzyme needed to absorb and digest the milk sugar, lactose. Undigested lactose, the milk sugar lingers in the colon and ferments, creating intestinal distress - abdominal pain, bloating, gas and diarrhea - that sometimes defies diagnosis or is misdiagnosed as serious bowel disease. So don't believe you have a serious bowel disorder until you are sure milk is not at fault. How much upset milk causes depends on the severity of your lactase deficiency. From 60 to 80 percent of those with lactose intolerance can still drink a single glass of milk without distress and about half can drink two glasses of milk, says note researcher Dr. Dennis Savaiano of the University of Minnesota. One study found that normal people absorbed 92% of milk's lactose; those with lactose intolerance absorbed only 25% to 58%. Yogurt is safe because it comes predigested. In one of nature's small miracles, the bacteria in yogurt take over for the missing enzyme and digest much of the milk sugar for you. According to tests by Dr. Savaiano, two bacterial cultures, Streptococcus thermophilus and especially Lactobacillus bulgaricus, that transform milk into yogurt gobble up much of milk's lactose during fermentation, and once in the intestine eat much of the remaining lactose. Be sure the yogurt has live bacterial cultures, as nearly all commercial yogurts do; killed bacteria do not work. Plain yogurts have more anti-lactose activity than flavored yogurts. Buttermilk and acidophilus milk, although fermented, still cause as much distress in most people as plain milk.
What Is Lactose Intolerance?

http://members.ozemail.com.au/~ndobsonkeeffe/li.htm

Extractions: Australian born Chinese "Lactose intolerance" is caused by an inability of the body to breakdown the sugar lactose. To break lactose down into it's two simple sugars your intestine needs an enzyme called lactase. If you do not have lactase, or have very little, the lactose is not broken down by this method. Instead, it is broken down in the intestine by bacterial fermentation. Side products of the fermentation include acids, carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas. It is these products that lead to the effects of lactose intolerance. Effects?
Lactose Intolerance
lactose intolerance lactose intolerance develops when the body has difficulty digesting whole and skim milk and other dairy products.
http://www.gicare.com/pated/ecdgs24.htm

Extractions: Lactose Intolerance Lactose intolerance develops when the body has difficulty digesting whole and skim milk and other dairy products. Lactose is a milk sugar and like most sugars, it is broken down by enzymes in the intestinal tract so it can be absorbed as an energy source. The enzyme that breaks down lactose is called lactase. When the intestine does not contain lactase, then lactose intolerance can occur. It is a troublesome and annoying problem, but it is never a serious one. Who Has Lactose Intolerance? As commonly expected, infants and small children have the enzyme lactase so they can digest mothers' milk. However, during childhood, lactase begins to disappear in many people. Some ethnic groups are more likely to develop lactose intolerance. By adolescence, it is gone in about 75% of African-Americans, Jews, Native Americans, Mexicans, and in 90% of Asians. So the condition is very common. What Are The Symptoms? When undigested lactose reaches the colon (large intestine), it is broken apart by bacteria. Lactic acid and other acidic chemicals result. It is these products that create the symptoms of lactose intolerance. These symptoms include nausea, abdominal cramps and rumbling, bloating, rectal gas (flatus), and diarrhea. They usually occur 30 minutes to two hours after ingesting lactose-containing foods. The severity of symptoms usually depends on the amount of lactose ingested and how much of the enzyme, lactase, remains in the intestinal tract.
Lactose-Free Low-Lactose Diet
It is important to remember that while lactose intolerance can cause quite uncomfortable symptoms, it does not cause damage to the intestine.
http://www.gicare.com/pated/edtgs05.htm

Extractions: Lactose is the simple sugar found in milk and milk products. It can also be found in a variety of other foods and even as a filler in some pills and capsules. The enzyme lactase, present in the lining of the small intestine, splits lactose into two simple sugars. These simple sugars can then be absorbed by the body and used as nourishment. In infants, milk is the main part of the diet, so it is natural and normal for lactase production to gradually decrease as the diet becomes more varied. This tends to occur in childhood and adolescence in African Americans, Native American Indians, Hispanics, Arabs, Jews, and Asians. Northern European white races seem to keep lactase production the longest. When lactase is absent, lactose passes through the intestine to the colon (large bowel), carrying extra fluid with it. In the colon, bacteria break down lactose into lactic acid and certain gases. Lactic acid is an irritant and laxative. It can cause symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and gas or flatus. Lactase activity is reduced in people with certain intestinal conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and celiac disease (gluten enteropathy). Patients taking certain drugs and alcoholic patients may also be lactose intolerant. Finally, patients with surgical removal of part of the stomach or a large portion of the small intestine may need to reduce lactose in the diet.

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?
Australian Breastfeeding Association - Lactose Intolerance And The Breastfed Bab
lactose intolerance arises when a person does not produce the enzyme lactase (or does not produce enough) and is therefore unable to digest lactose.
http://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/bfinfo/lactose.html

Extractions: Exclusively for ABA subscribers Joy Anderson BSc, Dip.Ed., Grad.Dip.Med.Tech., IBCLC, ABA Breastfeeding Counsellor Lactose is the sugar in all mammalian milks. It is produced in the breast and is independent of the mother's consumption of lactose. It is present in a constant concentration in breastmilk. Foremilk, the milk the baby gets when he first starts to feed, does not contain more lactose than hindmilk, but it does contain less fat. Lactase is the enzyme which is required to digest lactose. Lactose intolerance arises when a person does not produce this enzyme (or does not produce enough) and is therefore unable to digest lactose. The symptoms of lactose intolerance are liquid, frothy stools, and an irritable baby who may pass wind often. If a baby is lactose intolerant, the medical tests, 'hydrogen breath test' and tests for 'reducing sugars' in the stools would be expected to be positive. However these are positive in most normal babies under three months too so their use in diagnosing lactose intolerance is open to question. There are some common fallacies about lactose intolerance that you may hear in the community: Lactose in the breastmilk will be reduced if the mother stops eating dairy products.

http://www.nowhey.org

Extractions: Last Updated 01/07/03 This site is dedicated to educating people about lactose intolerance and all the hidden places that lactose (milk sugar) shows up in commercially prepared food goods. As you might guess from the title of this site, the most insidious of the hidden forms of lactose is whey . Whey sounds healthy. But most people have no idea what whey really is! Whey is about 75% lactose! Whey is a by-product of the cheese making process. It's really a waste product, but the clever dairy industry has figured out how to market this product to what seems like the entire prepared food industry. It's not clear to me that whey has any real purpose in foods except to make extra money for the dairy industry (and as a sneaky way to add sugar to a product while making it sound like something healthy). If they're not adding whey, they're adding non-fat dried milk. That's also mostly lactose. (Milk is essentially water, lactose and fat. The fat is what gives milk its white color, not the calcium as you might believe.) Sometimes you get both non-fat dried milk and whey. I've even seen products that contain whey, non-fat dried milk and lactose! A triple whammy! So take a spin around the site. You'll learn about lactose intolerance and how to avoid ingesting lactose. And you're going to be shocked at all the places lactose is hiding.

Z Contents of this page: Digestive system organs Alternative names Return to top Lactase deficiency; Milk intolerance; Disaccharidase deficiency; Dairy product intolerance Definition Return to top 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. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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.
