What is lactose?
Lactose is a natural sugar commonalty found in dairy products. The symptoms of lactose intolerance are at times, embarrassing and painful - particularly for the Lactose Intolerance Plagued Person.
What is lactose intolerance?
Simply put, lactose intolerance is the body's inability to convert lactose into glucose. People with lactose intolerance are unable to digest lactose due to an deficiency of the enzyme lactase in the body.
How Lactase Does its Job
Lactase is manufactured in the body by the cells lining the wall of the small intestines which winds a trail through the digestive track. Lactase breaks down milk sugars, converting them to glucose - a simple sugar that can be readily absorbed in the bloodstream.
When the body is deficient in lactase, the digestive process is much like a inadequate sponge. When lactose is unable to be converted into glucose, conditions are ripe in the intestines for the making of methane gas within its walls. In short, lactose ferments, thus producing the painful symptoms of lactose intolerance.
Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance:
Symptoms of lactose intolerance include belching, mild to explosive outbursts of air, abdominal pain, diarrhea (occurring sometimes up to two hours after lactose has been ingested), flatulence, bloating with some individuals experiencing nausea. Oddly enough, a person with lactose intolerance may have no typical symptoms associated with lactose intolerance.
The lactose intolerant individual may require a diet low in lactose, and some times, a lactose free diet. Foods that may be recommended for lactose intolerance sufferers include the following:
-
plain meats - fish contains a good amount of calcium
-
soy milk, rice milk, goat milk
-
natural vegetables, fruits
-
dried beans
-
barley
-
potatoes
-
pasta
Losing weight doesn't have an effect on minimizing this unpleasant disorder because lactose intolerance occurs because an individual is experiencing a reaction due to a breakdown blip in the body. In fact, an individual suffering from lactose intolerance may even experience weight loss, particularly when afflicted with sporadic sessions of diarrhea. Malnutrition becomes a dire concern in some lactose intolerance individuals, particularly those affected by diarrhea..
Additional Information on Lactose Intolerance
1. Lactose-rich foods tend to exhibit a high amount of calcium, necessary for a healthy body. Calcium is an electric element of the body, fulfilling nutritional needs and the execution of many body functions - from regulating blood pressure to balancing the electrolytes. Calcium is one of the Big Three electrolytes - the other two being sodium (salt) and potassium.
2. Dairy products also make up the official food pyramid. Removing this building block of nutrition is much like pulling the jack from under the car when changing a tire.
3. Calcium supplements may be recommended by health professionals to ensure the body's daily requirement is met.
4. Lactose intolerance is commonly referred to as Lactase Deficiency.
5. Lactose intolerance is also commonly called Milk Allergy.
6. Lactose intolerance may be inherited from the gene pool.
7. Up to 95% of Asian and Black ethnic groups will develop permanent lactose deficiency.
8. Lactose intolerance is not contagious.
9. Lactose intolerance is not curable.
10. Lactose intolerance is often misdiagnosed.
11. Many foods contain hidden lactose - so lactose intolerant consumer beware.
12. Many individuals impacted by lactose intolerance may be able to enjoy some types of dairy products - so trial and error may root out what is acceptable to the body.
If you think that you may be suffering from lactose intolerance, you should of course visit with your doctor or nutritionist. There are also many over the counter products including tablets and drops that may help some individuals quell the unpleasant symptoms that tend to occur with lactose intolerance. And there is the trial and error exercise where food elimination helps identify those lactose intolerance offenders.
