I can't answer this question, but I had a particularly bad episode after being served ice cream (and led to believe it was Frozen Yogurt which for whatever reason causes me no problems). I woke up that night in horrible pain. Had no pills to take. I remember trying to drink a lot of water but it didn't help. I went back to bed still in pain. Next thing I know I'm in an ambulence on my way to the hospital having had my first ever seizure. Haven't had another since. Anybody else?
Lactose is a simple carbohydrate and typically is the reason for milk intolerance in people. Lactose is a simple sugar/carbohydrate.
Because your body lacks the enzyme lactase which is necessary for the digestion of lactose
There's no known connection between lactose intolerance and bad skin.
The enzyme which the body uses to digest lactose is lactase.
just to add to my question, i have some symptoms that seem to apply to both celiac intolerance AND lactose intolerance. I'm trying the whole elimination diet now, one by one...but can't celiac actually cause lactose intolerance??
Following is a list of causes or underlying conditions that could possibly cause Lactose Intolerance: * Chronic digestive diseases * Crohn's disease * Coeliac's disease * Gastroenteritis * Inflammatory bowel diseases * Intestinal injury
Yes, dogs can have lactose-free yogurt as a safe alternative to regular yogurt, which can cause digestive issues due to lactose intolerance in some dogs.
Anaphylactic reactions are life-threatening and can occur with food allergies, while lactose intolerance and galactosemia are not classified as allergies. Lactose intolerance leads to digestive discomfort but is not life-threatening. In contrast, galactosemia is a serious genetic disorder that can cause severe health issues if untreated, making it more critical to manage. Overall, galactosemia poses a greater health risk than lactose intolerance.
The sugar lactose would not be broken down. This one cause of lactose intolerance in someone who can't drink milk or eat milk based products. Symptoms of lactose intolerance are diarrhea, flatulence (passing gas), and abdominal pain.
Yes, a lactose-intolerant person can generally drink Pepsi, as it is a carbonated soft drink that does not contain lactose. Lactose intolerance specifically involves difficulty digesting lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products. Since Pepsi is dairy-free, it should not cause any issues for someone with lactose intolerance. However, individual reactions to other ingredients in soft drinks can vary, so it's always best to consult a healthcare provider if there are concerns.
There are three classifications of lactose intolerance. The two most common are environmentally induced, the third is a result of genetics.1. Primary lactose intolerance. Environmentally induced when weaning a child in non-dairy consuming societies. This is found in many Asian and African cultures, where industrialized and commercial dairy products are uncommon.2. Secondary lactose intolerance. Environmentally induced, resulting from certain gastrointestinal diseases, including exposure tointestinal parasites such as Giardia lamblia. In such cases the production of lactase may be permanently disrupted. A very common cause of temporary lactose intolerance is gastroenteritis, particularly when the gastroenteritis is caused by rotavirus. Another form of temporary lactose intolerance is lactose overload in infants.3. Congenital lactase deficiency. A genetic disorder which prevents enzymatic production of lactase. Present at birth, and diagnosed in early infancy.
Lactose is not healthy for everyone. Some people are lactose intolerant, meaning they have difficulty digesting lactose, the sugar found in milk. This can cause symptoms like bloating, gas, and diarrhea. It is important for individuals with lactose intolerance to limit their intake of lactose-containing foods or choose lactose-free alternatives.
