Best Answer

The human body has many enzymes that help break down the food you eat-

for instance

when you eat chicken the protein is broken down by an enzyme called protease

when you eat milk- the sugar in it called lactose- is broken down by lactase

When babies are born their bodies produce a large amount of lactase to digest their mother's milk/formula

As Certain people get older the amount of lactase in the body decreases-making it hard to digest milk and milk products

Some people need lactase when consuming milk products because they have an intolerance to dairy. The lactase helps them to keep from getting sick.

Custard is normally made with milk, sugar and eggs, and so is gluten-free. However some methods of making custard, especially commercially-prepared custard, might use wheat flour and so would not be gluten-free. If you are buying custard ready-made, check the label. Bear in mind gluten is not usually a problem for people who are not suffering from a medical condition which is affected by gluten and that such a condition needs to be diagnosed by a doctor.
