Which conditions and diseases 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
Can you develop lactose intolerance?
Yes. Lactose intolerance is a phenomena of the digestive system. Just because you have milk in the mammeries has no bearing on what happens to milk in the intestines. The same argument goes for lactose intolerant (human) mothers.
What is the carbohydrate in milk that could cause milk intolerance?
Lactose is a simple carbohydrate and typically is the reason for milk intolerance in people. Lactose is a simple sugar/carbohydrate.
Does diarrhea cause lactose intolerance?
Because your body lacks the enzyme lactase which is necessary for the digestion of lactose
Does being lactose intolerant cause bad skin?
There's no known connection between lactose intolerance and bad skin.
Is lactose intolerance an adaptation to an environmental factor?
There are three classifications of lactose intolerance. The two most common are environmentally induced, the third is a result of genetics.1. Primary lactose intolerance. Environmentally induced when weaning a child in non-dairy consuming societies. This is found in many Asian and African cultures, where industrialized and commercial dairy products are uncommon.2. Secondary lactose intolerance. Environmentally induced, resulting from certain gastrointestinal diseases, including exposure tointestinal parasites such as Giardia lamblia. In such cases the production of lactase may be permanently disrupted. A very common cause of temporary lactose intolerance is gastroenteritis, particularly when the gastroenteritis is caused by rotavirus. Another form of temporary lactose intolerance is lactose overload in infants.3. Congenital lactase deficiency. A genetic disorder which prevents enzymatic production of lactase. Present at birth, and diagnosed in early infancy.
What lack of enzyme cause lactose intolerance?
The enzyme which the body uses to digest lactose is lactase.
I have no insurance how can i tell if i am lactose or celiac intolerant without the help of a dr?

Does whipped cream cause diarrhea?
It can. If you have lactose intolerance, Irritable Bowel Syndrome or any of a number of other disorders or diseases, heavy dairy can wreak havoc on your digestive system. If you are experiencing any such symptoms when consuming dairy, I would recommend speaking to your physician and letting them determine if you have any food allergies or other issues that might cause these symptoms.

Why do experts believe that genetics is involved in primary carbohydrate intolerance?
Because of the uneven distribution of enzyme deficiency based on race and ethnic heritage, especially in lactose intolerance, genetics are believed to play a role in the cause of primary carbohydrate intolerance.
