Lactose Intolerance

Lactose in tolerance takes place when small intestine’s lining creates smaller amounts of the enzyme called lactase. Thediseasesymptomsare usually mild, but insome cases can be great. So,people with this disease are not able to completely take in lactose. Ranging from 30 to 50 million Americans have some level of the disease. If you are lowin lactase, food moves through your colon rather than being digested. Like I have said before, it is a lack oflactasethat is making people have this disease.

They do not have enough lactase in them to be able to have things with dairy and if they do, it will create all sorts of problems.

Those low lactase measures might relate tooth erdiseases like celiac, viral or contagious infections of the small intestine and cystic fibrosis. Usually this disease will happen in adulthood, not so much in infants or the younger children. Premature babies could also have the disease because of not enough lactase. Lactose in tolerance is often in Africans, Hispanics, Asians and Americans. It can also have a higher risk for people who have had cancermedicaltreatment.

There isn’t a cure for lactose in tolerance,but it shouldn’t determine how long you live because it iscurable. There arealso supplements you can taketoget your calcium. Depending on if you aren’t taking those nutrients that youneedand thatyou aren’t getting from dairy, it could affect your heath. So, it ultimately depends on people making sure that they keep track of that.For most cases, it does not change your appetite and for mild cases you don’t have to cut dairy off altogether, you just must reduce.

With severe cases, however, they would have to cut out all dairy and get thosenutrients,again, from a supplement. You want to make sure you are getting all the nutrients that you need.
