Lactose Intolerance

Yes. Lactose intolerance is a condition marked by the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and milk products. Eating or drinking lactose-containing foods and drinks is not life-threatening, but can produce abdominal cramping, bloating, and diarrhea. The degree of these symptoms is highly variable, and depends in part upon the extent of impairment of an individual's ability to digest lactose. Those that have a mild deficiency in digesting lactose might have no symptoms or only mild symptoms; those with complete inability to absorb lactose might be at the other end of the spectrum with severe cramping, bloating, and diarrhea. In either case, avoiding lactose (eg, by eating rice-based cheeses instead of milk-based cheeses, drinking lactose-free milk products) or supplementing the diet with pills containing lactase (the enzyme lacking in lactose-intolerant individuals) often affords much relief.

Why don't you try reading the book that Penn Foster gave you??? I did and it really helped out and you obviously have a computer so you can check it online...but the answer is B...I am taking the same class and I just took this test and got a 98...That question was the one I passed

Your body naturally filters out lactose but there is another bacteria that cannot be filtered out that is found in milk. and some children are allergic to it and not lactose. can you eat cheese? Cheese and milk have the same lactose but not the same bacteria potency. my daughter was breast fed and if I drank milk she got ill, there is no way she is lactose intolerant, she can eat cheeses and other dairy products. If it had been the lactose the breasts would have eliminated it. It would not have made her sick. She still can not drink milk from a jug. She can have milk that does not require refridgeration. The same thing would apply to an unborn child I would imagine, just think of your body as a filtration system.

All dairy products contain an enzyme called lactose, and therefore if you are lactose intolerant, you cannot eat dairy. However, usually a person can eat 1/2 a cup or less of a dairy product if it is accompanied with food, but this is not true for all people.

It is possible to add a bacteria to the milk that will digest the lactose. It is also possible to use a cottage or yogurt bacteria and change the milk to a more digestible form. You still have to treat the milk, not the person. Perhaps some day chromosome therapy will enable lactose intolerant people to enjoy milk.

Some lactose-intolerant people can eat pizza, while others cannot. It depends on the severity of the intolerance.

I believe no as I found out 2 weeks ago that I was lactose intolerant and since I have stopped eating foods with lactose in them I have been constipated. Senna tablets have today cleared my 'blockage' but it wasn't pleasant. I believe that this has been the case because the lactose is no longer causing my diarrhea and so I have unfortunately gone 'the other way'. Good luck and if I find any more info I will let you know.

Stress can cause all kinds of illnesses.

Mostly hypochondria, which are then as 'real' as real illnesses.

If you are not getting the right amount of calcium and other minerals that are in milk or other things with lactose in it your bones and teeth could become brittle and you could get diseases with bones but I doubt it could really kill you. Try soymilk, coconut, or almond milk.

When someone is lactose intolerant it means they don't produce any/enough lactase enzyme in the small intestine. Without the enzyme, lactase the lactose is not broken down and doesn't go into the bloodstream, it stays in the small intestine where bacteria respires, to try and break it down. The presence of undigested lactose increases water potential and therefore leads to diarrhoea.

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?

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.

Peer pressure

no

Lactose intolerance is not something you catch, it's genetic/allergy. You need to avoid ALL forms of dairy products, this include, yoghurt, cream, butter, milk, cheese, some margarine makes have milk solids. Some cases you need to avoid egg whites as well, mayonnaise has egg in, most cookies have egg or milk in.

Should the ingredients contain, whey powder, milk solids, butter, milk, cheese, milk powder, cheese powder or any dairy item, avoid it.

lactose intolerance is were you are unable to digest the protein lactose in milk because your body doesn't produce lactase to break it down into sugars. When you are young and feeding on your mothers milk, (or bottle fed) the genes that are responsible for the production of lactase are activated. But as you grow older these genes become in active. it western cultures, these genes remain active as we have social presures for the consumption of milk. (such as eating ice cream) People like you who dont produce the lactase are called lactose intolerant.

Its not really some thing you can treat. Different people have different levels of lactose intolerance. Find out how much milk you can have before being sick or change to thing like soy milk or instead of ice cream have sorbet instead. But to answer your first question nothing as it does not work that way. the lactase must be produced by the body.

lactose free milk has the same calcium content as regular milk, barring additives

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".

Lactose

Yes. Calcium lactate compounds DO NOT contain lactose. I'm lactose intolerant and have been using the supplement for years and have not faced any issues.

The enzyme which the body uses to digest lactose is lactase.

No, not all humans are lactose intolerant. If you can ingest any dairy products, such as milk or cheese, you're not lactose intolerant.

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
