What else can I help you with?
Why does milk make you bloat?
Milk can cause bloating for several reasons, primarily due to lactose, the sugar found in dairy. Many people have varying degrees of lactose intolerance, meaning their bodies produce insufficient amounts of the enzyme lactase needed to digest lactose properly. When undigested lactose reaches the colon, it ferments, producing gas and leading to bloating. Additionally, the fat content in some dairy products can slow digestion, contributing to a feeling of fullness and discomfort.
What happens if your lactosentolerent?
Lactose intolerance results from the body's inability to produce an enzyme necessary to break down lactose found in most dairy products. Consumption of such foods can result in nausea, diarrhea and cramping. There is a racial preponderance for lactose intolerance, with African-American and Asian populations having as much as 70% lactose intolerance in their populations.
Why is lactose intolerance an issue?
Lactose intolerance is an issue because your body cannot produce lactase, the enzyme required to break down lactose, the sugar found in milk-based products. This ultimately means that you cannot consume milk. And that is an issue.
Will lactose intolerance occur individuals that do not have the enzyme maltase?
no, this only happens when you insufficiently produce lactase.
Why is lactose intolerance associated with celiac disease?
People with celiac disease may also experience lactose intolerance because they don't produce enough of the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the sugar in milk into a form the body can absorb.
What two factors are tide closely to lactose intolerance?
Lactose intolerance is primarily influenced by genetics and age. Genetic predisposition determines an individual's ability to produce lactase, the enzyme needed to digest lactose, with certain populations having higher rates of lactose intolerance due to evolutionary factors. Additionally, lactase production typically decreases with age, leading to increased difficulty in digesting lactose in many individuals as they grow older.
Is lactaid different from lactose?
Lactaid is a brand of lactose-free milk. Lactose intolerance derives from the fact that some people don't produce enough lacatase, an enzyme that breaks lactose down. \\http://www.dairyease.com/yourhealth/lactose_intolerance.html
How does lactid help with lactase intolerance?
It helps with lactose intolerance because contains the enzyme Lactase which if you are Lactose intolerant you body doesn't produce this enzyme and the enzyme lactase in Lactaid pills breaks down the milk sugar(Lactose) making it easier for your body to digest dairy foods. Taken off of my box of Lactaid
Can you develop lactose intolerance?
Yes. Lactose intolerance is a phenomena of the digestive system. Just because you have milk in the mammeries has no bearing on what happens to milk in the intestines. The same argument goes for lactose intolerant (human) mothers.
What percentage of the worlds population suffers from lactose intolerance?
Most mammals normally cease to produce lactase, (and become lactose intolerant), after weaning. However, some human populations have developed lactase persistence (and therefore can eat dairy after adulthood). This said, research reveals intolerance to be more common globally than lactase persistence. The frequency of lactose intolerance ranges from 5% in Northern European to more than 90% in some African and Asian countries. That would mean that 95% of people form European stock and 10% of people from African and Asian stock are "not lactose intolerant".
What percentage of the world's population loses the ability to produce the enzyme lactase with age?
About 75% (three-quarters) of all adults produce less lactase as they grow older.This is only an approximate figure. In parts of Europe it is about 5%, and in parts of Asia above 90%.The condition is known as lactose intolerance, because without the enzyme people cannot digest the sugar lactose. The lactose is therefore not absorbed and travels further along the gut, where bacteria act on it and produce gases, which cause considerable discomfort.Lactose is particularly found in milk, and people with lactose intolerance have to avoid dairy foods as far as possible.
Does lactose intolerance cause bad breath?
no. as usually if not caused by gum disease, bad breath is caused by a gas from the stomach. someone who is lactose intolerant would have bad breath if consuming dairy produce as it would cause a stomach upset
