LACTOSE INTOLERANCE!

When you have Lactose intolerance you have the inability to break down the sugar lactose into glucose and galactose. Lactose is found in dairy products. The lactose-digesting enzyme lactase is produced in the portion of the small intestine. Individuals that don’t produce this lactose enzyme experience an array of symptoms. Undigested lactose causes water retention in the large intestine causing intestinal contraction. You get lactose intolerance which causes fermentation in the large intestine where bloating, gas forms.

Usually, lactose intolerance is not found in infants who are breastfeeding. When babies come off breastfeeding and go on to regular food, there is a higher incidence. Lactose intolerance affects 25% of white and 75-90% of the black population…

Chronic antibiotic therapy can cause lactose intolerance. Research shows that ethnic groups descended from northern Europe or Northwest India are more likely to have lactose.

Foods to Avoid: Dairy Products, including goat and sheep milk.

Nutritional Recommendations:

Lactase Enzyme When consuming a little dairy, a Probiotic with at least 20 million bacteria helps to stimulate the production of lactase. Take Calcium supplements in place of dairy products. Vitamin D3, 2000 IU – 5000 IU daily,
