Lactose intolerance can develop at any age, but it is most commonly diagnosed in adolescents and adults. Many individuals experience a decrease in lactase enzyme production after weaning, with symptoms often emerging in late childhood to early adulthood. However, some can remain tolerant to lactose into their teenage years or even adulthood. The prevalence of lactose intolerance varies widely among different ethnic groups and populations.
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.
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.
