What is Lactose Intolerace?
Lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency in lactase, the enzyme required to
digest milk sugar. Symptoms include gas, bloating, diarrhea and cramping when dairy
foods are consumed.
Are You Lactose Intolerant?
People who suspect they are lactose intolerant can perform a self-test by eliminating
dairy products from their diet for 10 days. If the symptoms disappear and again
reappear with the reintroduction of dairy products in the diet, lactose intolerance
is probably the explanation for the symptoms.
