I haven't been able to find any literature to support my assertions but I can describe my own personal experience. I have noticed that when I eat dairy products along with a normal (healthy) diet I do tend to lose weight. The effects are quantitatively noticeable even after a day as I would lose 1-2 pounds.
I think this is mainly due to the resultant diarrhoea, and consequently the loss of water and the body not absorbing as much of the nutrients as it normally would. Hence the weight loss.
If anyone does find any literature to support this, please post it.
Because your body lacks the enzyme lactase which is necessary for the digestion of lactose
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.
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.
No don't drink milk.Even if you don't suffer from lactose intolerance, it might be a good idea to avoid dairy products for a while after suffering from a bout of diarrhea. Diarrhea can cause a lessening of the amount of the enzyme lactose. Lactose is needed in order for the body to digest lactose, the sugar found in dairy products. If this "milk sugar" goes undigested, it can result in further symptoms of gas, bloating, nausea and diarrhea. Here are some common lactose-containing foods:ButterCheeseIce creamMilk
There are different health issues that may cause symptoms of dry lips, loss of appetite and diarrhea. These could be food poisoning, gastroenteritis, traveler's diarrhea, lactose intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome.
Lactose is a simple carbohydrate and typically is the reason for milk intolerance in people. Lactose is a simple sugar/carbohydrate.
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, tofu can cause diarrhea in some people, especially if they have a sensitivity or intolerance to soy products.
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.
