Extractions: Forum Newsletter Search Us How prevalent is Lactose Intolerance? About 70% of the world's population just can't drink milk or eat dairy products (except yogurt) without getting an upset stomach. Lactose Intolerance is genetic and happens most often in people of African, Asian and Mediterranean descent. Lactose Intolerance is caused by a deficiency of lactase, an enzyme needed to absorb and digest milk sugar i.e. lactose. Undigested lactose lingers in the colon and ferments, creating intestinal distress - abdominal pain, bloating, gas and diarrhea - that sometimes defies diagnosis or is misdiagnosed as serious bowel disease. So don't believe you have a serious bowel disorder until you are sure milk is not at fault. Read Inflammatory Bowel Disease IBD Diet for Crohn's and Colitis How much upset milk can cause depends on the severity of your lactase deficiency. From 60 to 80 percent of those with lactose intolerance can still drink a single glass of milk without distress and about half can drink two glasses of milk, says note researcher Dr. Dennis Savaiano of the University of Minnesota. One study found that normal people absorbed 92% of lactose from milk; those with lactose intolerance absorbed only 25% to 58%. Yogurt is safe because it comes predigested. In one of nature's small miracles, the bacteria in yogurt take over for the missing enzyme and digest much of the milk sugar for you. According to tests by Dr. Savaiano, two bacterial cultures, Streptococcus thermophilus and especially Lactobacillus bulgaricus, that transform milk into yogurt gobble up much of milk's lactose during fermentation, and once in the intestine eat much of the remaining lactose. Be sure the yogurt has live bacterial cultures, as nearly all commercial yogurts do; killed bacteria do not work. Plain yogurts have more anti-lactose activity than flavored yogurts. Buttermilk and acidophilus milk, although fermented, still cause as much distress in most people as plain milk.

Extractions: Exclusively for ABA subscribers Joy Anderson BSc, Dip.Ed., Grad.Dip.Med.Tech., IBCLC, ABA Breastfeeding Counsellor Lactose is the sugar in all mammalian milks. It is produced in the breast and is independent of the mother's consumption of lactose. It is present in a constant concentration in breastmilk. Foremilk, the milk the baby gets when he first starts to feed, does not contain more lactose than hindmilk, but it does contain less fat. Lactase is the enzyme which is required to digest lactose. Lactose intolerance arises when a person does not produce this enzyme (or does not produce enough) and is therefore unable to digest lactose. The symptoms of lactose intolerance are liquid, frothy stools, and an irritable baby who may pass wind often. If a baby is lactose intolerant, the medical tests, 'hydrogen breath test' and tests for 'reducing sugars' in the stools would be expected to be positive. However these are positive in most normal babies under three months too so their use in diagnosing lactose intolerance is open to question. There are some common fallacies about lactose intolerance that you may hear in the community: Lactose in the breastmilk will be reduced if the mother stops eating dairy products.

Extractions: Lactose intolerance, inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, manifests as an inability to excrete lactase into the intestinal lumen at some time after weaning. Adults with lactose intolerance cannot break down lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and galactose for absorption by the intestine. The lactose can be taken up by intestinal bacteria which produce carbon dioxide gas from oxidative phosphorylation. This produces excessive flatulence in the human. In addition, the excess lactose in the gut creates an osmotic imbalance which results in less water being reabsorbed by the intestinal lining and this results in a watery stool or diarrhea. The combination of flatulence and watery stool is sometimes termed "explosive diarrhea". Not all individuals who are lactose intolerant experience a serious reaction to milk or milk products. Indeed, one would expect to find multiple alleles at this locus each with different characteristics. Research at the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis showed that: Of 49 people who thought they were lactose intolerant, only 34 were confirmed.

Extractions: Inside DrKoop News Archive Animations Health Videos Health Tools ... Newsletters Injury Disease Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Definition: Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and other dairy products. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme lactase. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Lactose intolerance occurs when the small intestine does not produce enough of the enzyme lactase. Babies' bodies produce this enzyme so they can digest milk, including breast milk. Before humans became dairy farmers, most people did not continue to drink milk, so their bodies did not produce lactase after early childhood. People from cultures in which adult consumption of milk and milk products occurred earliest are less likely to suffer from lactose intolerance than those from areas where dairy farming began more recently. As a result, lactose intolerance is more common in Asian, African, African-American, Native American, and Mediterranean populations than it is among northern and western Europeans. Lactose intolerance can begin at various times in life. In Caucasians, it usually starts to affect children older than five years of age. In African-Americans, lactose intolerance often occurs as early as two to three years of age.

Extractions: Do you often feel bloated after eating? Do you often have abdominal gas or cramps an hour after meals. If so, you may be one of 50 million Americans who are unable to digest milk products. Milk is an ideal food for an infant, but by mid to late childhood many people actually begin to lose their ability to digest this "perfect food." If you suffer from an intolerance to dairy products, this pamphlet may help answer some of your questions. First of all, it is not a milk allergy, but rather an inability to digest one component of milk - lactose. Lactose is the sugar is naturally found in the milk of all mammals, but is not found anywhere else in nature. Our body cannot absorb lactose because the molecule is too large to pass through the small intestinal wall and enter our blood stream. The lactose molecule must first be split into two smaller molecules (glucose and galactose) that we can absorb. This is done by an enzyme located in the intestinal wall called lactase. As we age, some of us lose significant amounts of this enzyme, and we can no longer digest milk sugar. This common condition is called lactose intolerance. (Another name often used is lactase deficiency.)

Extractions: Return to NIDDK Home Page Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the predominant sugar of milk. This inability results from a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is normally produced by the cells that line the small intestine (see figure 1). Lactase breaks down milk sugar into simpler forms that can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. When there is not enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose consumed, the results, although not usually dangerous, may be very distressing. While not all persons deficient in lactase have symptoms, those who do are considered to be lactose intolerant. Common symptoms include nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea, which begin about 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating or drinking foods containing lactose. The severity of symptoms varies depending on the amount of lactose each individual can tolerate. Some causes of lactose intolerance are well known. For instance, certain digestive diseases and injuries to the small intestine can reduce the amount of enzymes produced. In rare cases, children are born without the ability to produce lactase. For most people, though, lactase deficiency is a condition that develops naturally over time. After about the age of 2 years, the body begins to produce less lactase. However, many people may not experience symptoms until they are much older. Between 30 and 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant. Certain ethnic and racial populations are more widely affected than others. As many as 75 percent of all African-Americans and Native Americans and 90 percent of Asian-Americans are lactose intolerant. The condition is least common among persons of northern European descent.

Extractions: Last Updated 09/29/04 This site is dedicated to educating people about lactose intolerance and all the hidden places that lactose (milk sugar) shows up in commercially prepared food goods. As you might guess from the title of this site, the most insidious of the hidden forms of lactose is whey . Whey sounds healthy. But most people have no idea what whey really is! Whey is about 75% lactose! Whey is a by-product of the cheese making process. It's really a waste product, but the clever dairy industry has figured out how to market this product to what seems like the entire prepared food industry. It's not clear to me that whey has any real purpose in foods except to make extra money for the dairy industry (and as a sneaky way to add sugar to a product while making it sound like something healthy). If they're not adding whey, they're adding non-fat dried milk. That's also mostly lactose. (Milk is essentially water, lactose and fat. The fat is what gives milk its white color, not the calcium as you might believe.) Sometimes you get both non-fat dried milk and whey. I've even seen products that contain whey, non-fat dried milk and lactose! A triple whammy! So take a spin around the site. You'll learn about lactose intolerance and how to avoid ingesting lactose. And you're going to be shocked at all the places lactose is hiding.
