What is lacked toss n tolerant?
I think you mean "lactose intolerant."
Lactose is milk sugar. All small babies can digest lactose, but many people lose their ability to digest it as they get older--that is why they get sick from drinking milk. People who can still digest milk sugar as adults are "lactose tolerant"; people who cannot digest it are "lactose intolerant."
Can you have tums if you are lactose intolerant?
Lactase taken at the start of the meal allows you to eat all the dairy you want without the gas or cramps associated with lactose intolerance. Tums would only be useful as a calcium supplement it does nothing for the stomach cramp that come from lactose intolerance.
I developed lactose intolerance over that last couple years and have had symptoms from extra gas to cramps that last all day. Tums did not help at all. Now that I take lactase with a meal containing dairy I can gorge on pizza without the slightest hint of gas or stomach rumbling.
Lactase enzyme is a inexpensive over the counter supplement available at the pharmacy. They are easily the best choice we have compare to cramps, forgoing dairy or buying the more expensive lactose free products.

What are the effects of intolerance?
The closing of Boston's port alone would cost the colony (and the American colonies as a whole) a ton of money. The Regulating Act was aimed at curtailing revolutionary activities. The Quartering Act angered colonists who didn't want soldiers (especially Redcoats) in their houses. And the Quebec Act was a direct insult to Americans, who had been denied the same sorts of rights that the Quebec residents now got.

Hydrogen is absorbed from the intestines and carried by the bloodstream into the lungs where it is exhaled. Normally there is very little hydrogen detectable in the breath, so its presence indicates faulty digestion of lactose.

Hey buddy! I used to be lactose intolerant and I can help you! There is a special kind of milk called lactaid and there is cheese for people like us. It is also made be lactaid and I am not promising to you that it will taste good to you! It is non-dairy and you can eat and drink as much as you want! Enjoy! i am also lactose intollerant and i think that most of the lactose free cheeses taste honestly like crap. some of the ones that you find near the deli sections in the supermarket taste better but are more expensive. hope this helps! also try and stay away from veggie cheese YUCK!
Is lactose intolerance an adaptation to an environmental factor?
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.

What sugar is responsible for lactose intolerance?
Galactose is involved with lactose intolerance, but is not responsible for lactose intolerance. The enzyme that is missing or is not found in great enough quantities in the body, lactase, is responsible for not breaking down lactose. This is how the intolerance comes about. The body cannot properly break down lactose without the enzyme lactase present.
