Lactose Intolerance Hidden Lactose in Foods According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disorders (NIDDK), lactose is often added to prepared foods, including bread and other baked goods; processed breakfast cereals; instant potatoes, soups, and breakfast drinks; margarine; lunch meats (other than kosher); salad dressings; candies and other snacks; and mixes for pancakes, biscuits, and cookies. Some products labeled nondairy , such as powdered coffee creamer and whipped toppings, may also include ingredients that are derived from milk and therefore contain lactose. When reading food labels with care, look not only for milk and lactose among the contents, but also for words such as whey; curds; milk by-products; dry milk solids; and nonfat dry milk powder. Lactose is used as the base for more than 20 percent of prescription drugs and about 6 percent of over-the-counter medicines. Many types of birth control pills, for example, contain lactose, as do some tablets for stomach acid and gas. What is lactose intolerance?

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> 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. 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.

    Extractions: There was nothing better than a frosty bowl of ice cream. Her older sister noticed that Emma, who was about 12 years old, was beginning to stay in the bathroom longer and longer; with the door locked. Her parents chalked this up to teen-age privacy and nothing more. But along with this Emma was grouchy and seemed irritable most of the day. And her bad breath was so strong that it seemed it could peel the paint off the walls. Again her family chalked it up to teen-age growing pains. About a month after her older sister noticed Emma logging marathon bath room time, Emma decided to talk with her mother. Emma usually wasn't one to sit down and actually start conversations but this particular morning she was waiting for her mother right at the kitchen table, all geared up. "Mom, I think I may be lactose intolerance".

    Extractions: Sports Nutrition ... People who suffer from lactose intolerance are incapable of digesting large amounts of lactose. Lactose is mostly found in dairy products and sugar. The best way to treat this is to naturally avoid lactose in its many forms. However, the symptoms of lactose intolerance can also be controlled through a certain diet. The key to this diet is to learn what kind of foods containing lactose you can actually digest and in what quantity. When planning meals, you should choose from calcium rich foods. Being calcium deficient can lead to many health risks, especially as you age. A lack of calcium makes bones brittle and can lead to other health complications. In order to prevent this, you need to plan ahead and make sure you get the necessary amount of calcium from small amounts of dairy as well as other sources.

86. Lactose Intolerance By Ellen Eagan

    http://www.nomilk.com/eagan.shtml
    
    Extractions: The area in the intestines where lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose, is produced is called the brush border. It is at the ends of the microvilli. It is only one cell deep. As most people age, their ability to produce lactase decreases. Sometimes it decreases to the point where you are unable to deal with all of the lactose that you ingest. If you have decreased production of lactase and then something else happens to compromise the integrity of the brush border, it cases further reduction of lactase production. If you continue to take in lactose, that causes more irritation and loss of lactase production. It becomes a vicious negative feedback cycle. When you are suffering from celiac sprue, there is damage to your intestinal villi. This can make one temporarily lactase deficient to the point where lactose becomes a problem also. This happened in my case. Once I started on the gluten-free diet and my intestines had healed, lactose was no longer a problem for me. I can eat any diary product now with no problems. Not everyone will be so lucky. A lot of people will remain lactase deficient. Yogurt and aged cheeses are more easily tolerated because some of the lactose has been converted to lactic acid. One rule of thumb is that the higher the fat content of the dairy product, the lower the lactose level. People who are still producing some lactase would then be able to eat a very rich ice cream but would be bothered by skim milk or ice milk.

    Extractions: Lactose intolerance is one example of food intolerance. The term "food intolerance" denotes a non-immunologic adverse reaction to a food. In the case of lactose intolerance it is due to an 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 intestines. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into simpler forms that can be absorbed into the blood stream. Congenital Lactase Deficiency This is a rare condition (less than 50 cases are known) in which the individual cannot produce lactase. Watery diarrhoea occurs after breast-feeding or milk ingestion. Primary (Late-onset) Lactase Deficiency Lactase levels are high in all mammals following birth. In most mammals, however, lactase levels decline after the infant is weaned. Man is the only mammal that may retain lactase activity into adulthood. The gradual lactase disappearance usually does not begin until the child reaches pre-school age (2-6 years), although it can also begin at virtually any time later in life. The timing and rate of decline is genetically determined.

    Extractions: Breastfeeding Abstracts Lactose Intolerance, Diarrhea, and Allergy A complete allergy history of the parents is important in the diagnosis of infant food allergy. If one parent has allergic disease, the infant has a 30 percent risk of developing allergic disease. This risk doubles if both parents have allergic disease. In families with a high risk of atopic disease, the cord blood can be examined for high IgE levels. The presence of high levels of IgE may correlate with the occurrence of IgE-mediated disease. There are a number of studies in the literature which suggest that babies may become sensitized in utero if there is a strong family history of allergies. Mothers may be advised to avoid suspect foods during all or part of their pregnancy and to continue to avoid these foods during lactation. The research indicates that this practice does not decrease the incidence of allergy by two years of age, but it does delay the onset of allergy.

    Extractions: FAQs about Vegetarian Diets Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest the milk sugar lactose, causing gastrointestinal symptoms of flatulence, bloating, cramps, and diarrhea in some individuals. This results from a shortage of the lactase enzymes which break down lactose into its simpler forms, glucose and galactose. Virtually all infants and young children have the lactase enzymes that split lactose into glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. Prior to the mid-1960s, most American health professionals believed that these enzymes were present in nearly all adults as well. When researchers tested various ethnic groups for their ability to digest lactose, however, their findings proved otherwise. Approximately 70 percent of African Americans, 90 percent of Asian Americans, 53 percent of Mexican Americans, and 74 percent of Native Americans were lactose intolerant. Studies showed that a substantial reduction in lactase activity is also common among those whose ancestry is African, Asian, Native American, Arab, Jewish, Hispanic, Italian, or Greek.

Index Spanish version Lactose intolerance means you have trouble digesting milk and milk products. The condition is most common among Asians, American Indians, Mexican Americans, and African Americans. It is also a more common problem as people get older. You can make changes in your diet that will help you better digest milk and milk products or allow you to get enough calcium from other sources. You have trouble digesting milk because your body does not produce enough lactase. Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down the natural sugar found in milk. This milk sugar is called lactose.

    Extractions: There is no evidence that digestion of food is different in those with IBS compared to those without IBS. Although the exact cause of IBS is not known, there are factors that appear to aggravate symptoms or make a person feel worse. While dietary factors do not cause IBS, they may aggravate symptoms in some persons. Increased intestinal muscle reactivity and/or heightened sensitivity in IBS can cause the bowel to over-respond to stimuli. Even a normal event such as the act of eating itself, and not a particular food, may aggravate symptoms at times.

    Extractions: Lactose intolerance information Lactose intolerance is a condition that affects many people. There are different types of lactose intolerance, varying symptoms, and suggestions for treating this problem. The book entitled "The American Medical Association Family Guide", which was published in 1982 by Random House, Inc., says that people of certain ethnic backgrounds may produce very little or no lactase. It says the majority of Asians, Native Americans, and blacks, often fall into this category. In addition, some Caucasian people also have problems digesting dairy products. Primary lactose intolerance is a condition present from birth. According to "The American Medical Association Family Guide", a baby with this condition cannot consume breast milk and will require an alternative formula such as a soy protein formula. A person who has had this condition from birth should not consume cow's milk since primary lactose intolerance is usually a life-long condition. There are some over-the-counter products that help some people who suffer from lactose intolerance. These products often allow those who could not tolerate some dairy products to be able to enjoy them. If you suspect you have lactose intolerance, talk to your doctor to see if these products are right for your particular condition.

She wishes to test bacteria (E. coli have been suggested) for intolerance. Is there a procedure for doing this? Do you have other suggestions or advice? This student is a high school sophomore. Carolyn M McPherson Answer: Yes there is a way to find E coli that can't metabolize lactose. In fact, it's one of the most commonly used methods in molecular biology. A colorless chemical (called X-Gal for short) turns blue if the bacterium can metabolize lactose, and stays clear otherwise. SO, if we have X-gal in the agar plate, and streak out the bacteria, the WHITE colonies are lactose-intolerant! I don't know for sure, but I will bet that most of the usual supply houses can provide a kit for this purpose. Steve J Triezenberg

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.

Between 30 million and 50 million people in the United States are lactose intolerant. Lactose, the predominant sugar found in milk and other dairy products, is broken down by the enzyme lactase, which is produced by the cells in the inner lining of the small intestine. Normally, the enzyme lactase breaks down lactose, a complex sugar, into its two components, glucose and galactose. These simple sugars are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal wall. If lactase is lacking, lactose cannot be digested and absorbed. The resulting high concentration of lactose draws fluid into the small intestine, causing diarrhea. The unabsorbed lactose then passes into the large intestine, where it is fermented by bacteria, resulting in flatulence and acidic stool.
