What is lactate tolerance?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to metabolize lactose, because of a lack of the required enzyme lactase in the digestive system.
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.
What two products are formed when enzyme lactase digests lactose?
When the enzyme lactase digests lactose, it breaks it down into two simpler sugars: glucose and galactose. These monosaccharides can then be easily absorbed by the body for energy. Lactase is particularly important for individuals with lactose intolerance, as they lack adequate levels of this enzyme to properly digest lactose.
What is lactase used for?
Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, the sugar found in dairy products, into simpler sugars like glucose and galactose. It is commonly used as a supplement to help people with lactose intolerance digest dairy products more easily.
Why people are lack tose and tolarant?
lactose intolerant. they lack the enzyme amylase which digests dairy
What is it called when you cant eat anything dairy?
Semi Vegan depending on your other foood choices
How is lactaid milk made and what makes it different from regular milk?
Lactaid milk is made by adding the enzyme lactase to regular milk, which helps break down lactose, the sugar found in milk. This makes it easier for people who are lactose intolerant to digest. Regular milk contains lactose, which can cause digestive issues for some people who lack enough lactase enzyme.
Where can I find more information on lactose interolance?
Lactose is a sugar naturally found in milk and other dairy products. People with lactose intolerance lack the ability to properly digest lactose. If you are lactose intolerant you will need to carefully monitor your consumption of dairy products, while still ensuring that your body gets enough calcium from other sources. Both WebMD and the Mayo Clinic have more detailed information on what lactose intolerance is and how to live with it.
Is drinking milk when you're lactose intolerant bad for you?
Theoretically, yes. Many times, people can develop intolerances to certain foods. If you think you have developed lactose intolerance, take a break from dairy for a while, and your body will 'forget' that it doesn't like that stuff. Lactose intolerance can also be helped with probiotics. While antibiotics kill bacteria, probiotics introduce 'good' bacteria into the body. Lactose intolerance could be worsened by the lack of good bacteria (that normally digest the lactose enzyme) in the intestines. for more info http://www.buyprobiotics.net/ for non biased info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probiotics
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.
Did the ancient Chinese drink milk?
No. Chinese people are usually lactose intolerant.
What causes the symptoms of lactose intolerance?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose. Lactose intolerance happens when the small intestine does not make enough of the enzyme lactase. Enzymes help the body absorb foods. Not having enough lactase is called lactase deficiency.
