What is the cause of white chunks in the throat?

Could be tonsil stones. See the link, below. Or it could be caused by grooves in your throat and food is getting into them.


Is excessive flatuation a symptom of gluten insensitvity?

More often it's a sign of lactose (milk) intolerance. See the related link for info on celiac (gluten) disease.


What is the composition of lactose?

Lactose (C12H22O11), which is known to some as milk sugar, is a disaccharide. You can view its chemical structure by using the link which is provided to surf over to the Wikipedia article on lactose.


What's Lactose intolerance?

Lactose Intolerant means that your body is unable to metabolize, or tolerate, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products called Lactose. It is caused by a lack of lactase, the enzyme required to break down lactose in the digestive system, and results in symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, nausea and acid reflux.For more information, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Sources and Related Links.Lactose Intolerance is a medical condition that is similar to an allergy, in a way. A person who is lactose intolerant does not produce the enzyme that is used in digestion to break down the sugars found in milk and other dairy products (this sugar is called lactose). As a result, the sugars remain un-digested in the stomcah and digestive tract. This can cause pain, bloating, swelling, dicomfort, nasuea, vomiting, and infection. People who are lactoce intolerant are advised to eliminate dairy products out of their diet. In more milder cases, people can take a medication (often known as a "lact-aid") that conatins the enzyme that will allow them to digest small amounts of lactose found in their diet.


What is lactose intolerance?

General meaning:Lactose intolerance is results of an inability to digest or to metabolize lactose.due to missing or defective enzymes (inborn error of metabolism)Flow:ingested milk productsbuildup of dissacharides because deficiency of lactase in the intestinal villi.so, lactose cant be degraded to galactose and glucosecant be absorbed in to the bloodstream from the villilactose will accumulatedproducing H2, CO2 and organic acids.digestive problems: bloating and diarrheaNote that the common definition for "lactose intolerance" excludes infants. Virtually all human infants (indeed all mammal infants) are able to digest lactose, as it is a key ingredient in gaining sustenance from their mother. Infants not able to digest lactose are much more rare (and is a serious condition).Normally, mammals lose the ability to digest lactose shortly after entering childhood (in humans, somewhere between 3 and 5). However, a mutation in certain human populations somewhere around 20,000 BCE enabled those people to continue to consume milk for their entire life. So, in reality, "lactose tolerance" is the genetic aberration (though, a beneficial one).


What type of macromolecule is lactose and what is the monomer of that macromolecule?

Lactose is not a macromolecule. It is a disaccharide, that is one molecule of lactose is formed by the elimination of water between two simple sugar molecules, in this case galactose and glucose. Lactose can be made to link up into medium chain molecules, but this is a fairly random process and produces a mixture of products which are not digestible.


Can yeast ferment galactose and lactose?

check out this link: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2005-11/1132509463.Cb.r.html what it basically says is that yeasts cannot use lactose becasue they cannot break it down into its components (galactose and glucose), so they can only use lactose when they are genetically engineered to produce lactase (an enzyme which breaks down lactose into its constituent sugars).

Can Benzethonium chloride be used safely as a mouthwash to kill chronic bad breath due to tonsil stones?

Visit any website about tonsil stones, and remedies abound. One such remedy is grapefruit seed extract, also identified as GSE. As told to readers, GSE, when added to water creates an effective gargle that can attack bacteria and calcium deposits linked to the formation of tonsil stones. Its anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties are thought to bring this benefit.The extract may also contain the synthetic ingredient benzethonium chloride. This ingredient is not extracted from the seed itself, but rather by the way it is processed. Apparently, though it is touted as a "natural cure," this synthetic ingredient, along with its anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties, are what make it work for tonsil stone relief. The inclusion of benzethonium chloride in GSE has made supporters of organic natural medicines fight against the extract ever carrying an organic label. Unfortunately, studies have also found that GSE without the ingredient are less effective for treating tonsil stones.Here is a link to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report about the occurence of benzethonium chloride in commercial grapefruit extract:So ...if inorganic grapefruit seed extract is effective in treating and preventing tonsil stones, is its synthetic ingredient benzethonium chloride safe, especially when ingested orally as a gargle? It is also used in cosmetics, detergents and deoderants afterall.READ: "It is safe at concentrations of 0.5 percent in COSMETICS applied to the skin. A maximum concentration of 0.02 percent is safe for cosmetics used in the EYE AREA."Some sites report that ingesting (that would be swallowing) 1-3 grams of benzothonium chlorides could be fatal:lSo those interested in this remedy might consider that finding GSE in its purest form may not do the trick.In conclusion, there is not enough evidence to support the use of the word "safe" in relation to the question

How is lactose digested?

== == Lactose is a disaccharide sugar; a sugar composed of two monosaccharides. the two momosaccharides that make lactose are glucose and galactose. the enzyme lactase splits these two monosaccharides appart and they are easily digested. glucose can go directly into cells to be used as energy but galactose must be converted into glucose by the liver first. Lactose is digested by the liver and converted into energy and waste, just as is most other things you ingest. It gives energy to the creb's cycle, which is a major energy provider in the body. (However lactose doesn't provide very much energy at all)
