Lactose is a sugar found in milk. In healthy adults it is generally not a problem, however if someone is lactose intolerant it can cause discomfort and bloating. If a person has some forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) lactose can be quite irritating and painful.

Most Americans lose the ability to efficiently digest lactose in adulthood. However, those from certain backgrounds retain this ability for most if not all of their life.
