What amounts of lactose-containing food should be eaten by lactose intolerant adults?
GaleEncyofMedicine
Lactose intolerant people have lactase deficiency, which is an enzyme, so they should reduce the consumption of lactose containing food products like milk etc., however they can take foods prepared from milk like curd as lactose is converted to lactic acid,paneer cheese etc

∙ 14y agoIf you are lactose intolerant, you may benefit from adding lactase to your diet. This enzyme helps your body process lactose. Otherwise, you can eliminate dairy products from your diet.

What makes some people lactose intolerant as adults?

What should you drink to grow up?
Water and milk (provided they are not lactose intolerant) are the healthiest drinks for children and adults.
What is lacked toss n tolerant?
I think you mean "lactose intolerant."Lactose is milk sugar. All small babies can digest lactose, but many people lose their ability to digest it as they get older--that is why they get sick from drinking milk. People who can still digest milk sugar as adults are "lactose tolerant"; people who cannot digest it are "lactose intolerant."
Is height and weight significant in lactose intolerance?
Adults need a particular enzyme in their stomach to tolerate lactose. Babies are born with that enzyme. It turns off automatically in a number of children when they get to be about six years old. As a result they become lactose intolerant. Height and weight have nothing to do with lactose intolerance but the lack of an enzyme. Some people lactose intolerant people drink milk with a bacterium added which adds that enzyme. Others eat milk in the form of cheese or yogurt.
Do cats get brain freezes from ice cream?
No, they are smarter than Humans that way. But since most cats are Lactose intolerant as adults they get ill, and throw up all over.
What are lactose intolerance symptoms?
People who are lactose intolerant are not able to process lactose in the body. Lactose is a substance that is commonly found in milk products. Older adults and people of certain ethnic groups are more prone to develop lactose intolerance. Symptoms for lactose intolerance include abdominal pain, abdominal bloating, gas, diarrhea. Those who experience any of the symptoms mentioned should consult with their doctor for further advice on dealing with and controlling lactose intolerance.
Can lactose make us sick?
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.
How many people in the world are lactose intolerant?
The vast majority of mammals, including humans, lose the ability to digest the sugar in milk after infancy. About 25% of humans (mostly of northern European descent) have a genetic mutation that allows them to continue to digest milk sugar or lactose. The rest of us (an estimated 75% of us) are lactose-intolerant as adults, including the vast majority of people who are of Asian, African, Native American, and southern European descent. Symptoms of lactose intolerance include bloating, pain or cramps in the lower belly, gas, diarrhea, and vomiting.
What percentage of the worlds population suffers from lactose intolerance?
Most mammals normally cease to produce lactase, (and become lactose intolerant), after weaning. However, some human populations have developed lactase persistence (and therefore can eat dairy after adulthood). This said, research reveals intolerance to be more common globally than lactase persistence. The frequency of lactose intolerance ranges from 5% in Northern European to more than 90% in some African and Asian countries. That would mean that 95% of people form European stock and 10% of people from African and Asian stock are "not lactose intolerant".
What is lactose used for?
Lactose is the sugar found when milk and milk products are digested. Most babies tolerate lactose very well, but many adults find themselves missing the enzyme needed to digest lactose; causing severe gas, cramping and dumping syndrome, whenever they eat dairy, due to the inability to break down the milk sugar.The product called Lactaid is an enzyme that will allow those who are lactose intolerant, to consume dairy products with out discomfort. It works by helping the digestion of milk sugar.
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.
