Lactose Intolerance

Lactose is a type of natural sugar usually present in dairy products like milk and yogurt. When body is unable to breakdown lactose it is termed as lactose intolerance.

Why It Happens:

Your small intestines produce special enzyme called lactase to digest and break down lactose. But in some persons small intestine can not make enough enzyme and undigested lactose moves into the large intestine directly. Bacteria present in large intestine interact with undigested lactose causing symptoms like bloating, gas and diarrhea.

So it is also called as lactase deficiency.

Types:

Primary lactose intolerance : the decline in lactase gradually due to ageing, so its seen in old people.
Secondary lactose intolerance : it occurs due to intestinal disease such celiac disease, IBD or after injury, surgery to your small intestine.
Congenital lactose intolerance : a defective gene can be transmitted from parents to child , resulting in complete absence of lactase in the child. In this case baby is intolerant to breast milk.

Symtoms:

Symptoms occur after 30 min to 2 hours after eating or drinking a milk or dairy product. Severity can range from mild to severe depending upon patients lactase deficiency.

Bloating
