AllergyDietitian LACTOSE INTOLERANCE In Infants By Laureen Lawlor-Smith Lactose intolerance has become a popular diagnosis for irritable babies in the Australian community. It is an over diagnosed condition leading to unnecessary weaning of breastfed infants with no improvement in their irritable behaviour. It is rare before the age of three years unless there is some damage to the small intestine Lactase, an enzyme located in the brush border of the small intestinal mucosa breaks lactose down into glucose and galactose which are then absorbed. Any lactose which is not absorbed will pass through undigested into the large bowel. This may have several consequences: Water is drawn via osmosis into the large bowel. Bacteria ferment the lactose producing: short chain fatty acids including lactic acid which can be absorbed and used for energy gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen some of which is excreted through the lungs (giving rise to a positive breath hydrogen test) Stools are therefore: liquid because of extra water acid because of unabsorbed fatty acids frothy because of unabsorbed gases positive for reducing substances because of unabsorbed lactose Lactose Intolerance is divided into the following categories: Congenital Alactasia or hypolactasia This is an extremely rare condition except in Scandinavian countries. Babies with this condition do not gain weight and are dehydrated and extremely unwell.

Lactose is a larger sugar that is made up of two smaller sugars, glucose andgalactose. In order for lactose to be absorbed from the intestine and into thebody, it must first be split into glucose and galactose. The glucose andgalactose then are absorbed by the cells lining the small intestine. The enzymethat splits lactose into glucose and galactose is called lactase, and it islocated on the surface of the cells that line the small intestine. Lactose intolerance is caused by reduced or absent activity of lactase thatprevents the splitting of lactose (lactase deficiency). Lactase deficiency mayoccur for one of three reasons, congenital, secondary or developmental. Congenital causes of lactose intolerance Lactase deficiency may occur because of a congenital absence (absence from birth) oflactase due to a mutation in the gene that is responsible for producing lactase.This is a very rare cause of lactase deficiency, and the symptoms of this typeof lactase deficiency begin shortly after birth. Secondary causes of lactose intolerance Another cause of lactase deficiency is secondary lactase deficiency. Thistype of deficiency is due to diseases that destroy the lining of the smallintestine along with the lactase. An example of such a disease is

calendar clinical services acute care clinic allergy clinic ... Back to Nutrition page WHAT IS LACTOSE INTOLERANCE? People who have lactose intolerance cannot comfortably eat foods and beverages with lactose, such as milk. Lactose is the main sugar in milk. It is digested in the intestines by lactase, an enzyme that helps break lactose into smaller sugars. If a person does not produce lactase, the lactose goes undigested and is fermented by the normal bacteria found in the intestine. Most infants produce lactase enzyme from birth, but the amount tends to decrease by adulthood. In the United States, the incidence of lactose intolerance varies for different populations. On average, 80% of Asian and Native Americans are lactose intolerant, 75% of African Americans, 51% of Hispanic Americans and 21% of Caucasian Americans. IS LACTOSE INTOLERANCE THE SAME AS A MILK ALLERGY? No. Lactose intolerance should not be confused with a milk allergy. A milk allergy is an allergic reaction to the protein components in milk, not the sugar in milk. Individuals with milk allergy usually must avoid all milk products. Those with lactose intolerance can use certain dairy products or other foods that are low in lactose. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF LACTOSE INTOLERANCE?

This would explain the bouts of vomiting, stomach pains, severe tiredness, skin problems and depression Darwin suffered, symptoms a new report says improved when he stopped eating milk and cream. His family also suffered in a similar way, suggesting a genetic component, researchers led by Professor Anthony Campbell from Cardiff University reports in the current issue of the Postgraduate Medical Journal Darwin wrote to his friends about how his symptoms would sometimes last for weeks, with some bouts so bad that he couldn't work on his theories of evolution and natural selection. For example, the young naturalist had heart palpitations and chest pains before the Beagle set sail from Plymouth on what would be a landmark voyage to South America and the Galapagos Islands.

Read on before deciding to remove all dairy products from your diet. If you suspect lactose intolerance, the best thing to do is consult your medical doctor. He or she can give you a simple non-invasive test to find out for sure. People whose ancestors come from traditional dairy farming areas, such as Europe, the African plains and the Siberian steppes, generally have no problems with digesting lactose. Even among populations thought to be lactose intolerant, only one in five is. In reality, few people are unable to tolerate the amount of lactose found in a single glass (250mL) of milk. Research also shows that many people become less lactose intolerant over time. Even people who have never drunk milk and would be considered lactose intolerant can build up a tolerance in as little as a few weeks. The trick is to start slow and easy, introducing milk products into the diet a little at a time. Experiment to learn what your level of lactose tolerance is. Start by including smaller amounts of dairy products with meals or in foods and increase the amounts slowly. If you continually experience discomfort, limit your intake of that food. Try using commercially available lactase enzyme drops or tablets to reduce the lactose in milk or dairy products.

E-mail your questions and suggestions to WellandGood@uiowa.edu Send comments and questions to staff@uihealthcare.com University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa Tolerating lactose intolerance Milk is good for you, right? Not always. For nearly 50 million U.S. adults suffering from lactose intolerance, drinking milk or eating dairy products may result in bloating, cramps, diarrhea, and gas. But the story doesn't miserably end there. With careful diet planning, the effects of lactose intolerance can be minimized. "Lactose intolerance is your body's inability to digest lactose, the natural sugar found only in dairy products," says Warren Bishop, M.D., UI Health Care pediatric gastroenterologist. "It is caused by a shortage of the lactase enzyme that normally breaks down this sugar into simpler forms." Lactose intolerance is not the same as an allergy to milk. People with milk allergies have symptoms caused by milk proteins as opposed to milk sugar. Symptoms of milk allergy include respiratory problems, diarrhea, vomiting, and rashes. Because most mammals do not drink milk after weaning, they are programmed to lose the ability to digest lactose. This is true in many humans as well. However, Bishop says, adults of Northern European ancestry are more likely to digest milk well because of the importance dairy products played in survival in early Europe.

Clinical Nutrition Gastroenterology, Nutrition and Hepatology Liver Transplantation Gastroenterologists ... Transplantation Digestive and Liver Disorders Lactose Intolerance What is lactose intolerance? Lactose intolerance is a condition caused by a lack of an enzyme called lactase. Inadequate amounts of lactase cause the body to be unable to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk products. Lactase is normally produced in the small intestine where it breaks lactose down into a form that can be absorbed by the blood. A lack of lactase can cause uncomfortable symptoms for some people. Those who do exhibit the symptoms are said to be lactose intolerant. Thirty to 50 million Americans (adults and children) are lactose intolerant. The disorder affects some populations more than others: Seventy-five percent of all African-Americans and Native Americans are lactose intolerant. Ninety percent of Asian-Americans are lactose intolerant. Lactose intolerance is least common among people with a northern European heritage. What causes lactose intolerance?

Exposure Reporting LACTOSE INTOLERANCE Definition: You don't have enough of the enzyme lactase that digests lactose, the main sugar in milk. 10 TIPS FOR TOLERANCE: 1. Start Small: Try small, frequent portions of milk and milk products throughout the day. This allows whatever lactase is present to do its job of digesting the lactose before it starts causing problems. 2. Pair the Dairy: Drink milk with other foods, not on an empty stomach. Solid foods slow digestion allowing the body more time to digest the lactose and helping prevent symptoms. 3. Reduce It: Look for lactose-reducing or lactose-free milk in the dairy case. It has all the nutrients of regular milk. Or buy lactase enzyme drops at the pharmacy. Added to milk, they break down the lactose so it is easier to digest.

About this website ANY word ALL words EXACT phrase Help Home Life with Baby Is my baby lactose intolerant? By Kelly Bonyata, BS, IBCLC If your baby is sensitive to dairy products it is highly unlikely that the problem is lactose intolerance, although many people may tell you so. There are three types of lactose intolerance: Primary lactose intolerance Congenital lactose intolerance Secondary lactose intolerance Primary lactose intolerance (also called developmental, late-onset or adult lactose intolerance) is relatively common in adults (and more common in some nationalities than others), and is caused by a slow decrease in the body's production of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose (milk sugar). This occurs gradually, over a period of years, and never appears before 2-5 years old and often not until young adulthood. Almost all adults who are lactose intolerant have this type of lactose intolerance, which is not related to lactose intolerance in babies.
