I believe no as I found out 2 weeks ago that I was lactose intolerant and since I have stopped eating foods with lactose in them I have been constipated. Senna tablets have today cleared my 'blockage' but it wasn't pleasant. I believe that this has been the case because the lactose is no longer causing my diarrhea and so I have unfortunately gone 'the other way'. Good luck and if I find any more info I will let you know.
Yes, it can. It depends on how severe it is, but sometimes yes.
Yes milk can cause constipation.
When a person is lactose intolerant, any milk that is not lactose free will cause that person to have gas.? Lactose intolerance means a person does not have enough production of lactase enzyme.? When lactose is not broken down, it passes into the intestine where bacteria in the gut digest it and release gas.
Lactose is a simple carbohydrate and typically is the reason for milk intolerance in people. Lactose is a simple sugar/carbohydrate.
Because your body lacks the enzyme lactase which is necessary for the digestion of lactose
Lactose Intolerance occurs in the digestive system.
There's no known connection between lactose intolerance and bad skin.
The enzyme which the body uses to digest lactose is lactase.
A gastroenterologist treats lactose intolerance and ulcers.
just to add to my question, i have some symptoms that seem to apply to both celiac intolerance AND lactose intolerance. I'm trying the whole elimination diet now, one by one...but can't celiac actually cause lactose intolerance??
Following is a list of causes or underlying conditions that could possibly cause Lactose Intolerance: * Chronic digestive diseases * Crohn's disease * Coeliac's disease * Gastroenteritis * Inflammatory bowel diseases * Intestinal injury
Galactose is involved with lactose intolerance, but is not responsible for lactose intolerance. The enzyme that is missing or is not found in great enough quantities in the body, lactase, is responsible for not breaking down lactose. This is how the intolerance comes about. The body cannot properly break down lactose without the enzyme lactase present.
Lactose intolerance occurs when the digestive system is no longer able to metabolise the sugars (lactose) found in dairy products through producing insufficient amounts of an enzyme called lactase.
No
