Most of us especially anyone who works in the health care field have heard about Lactose Intolerance, Where individuals have to make necessary changes to avoid the common symptoms associated with this condition.
Lactose Intolerance is a genetic condition when the human body is unable to digest lactose (a type of sugar) in milk and milk products. The small intestine is responsible to absorb food into our blood stream. When Lactose is present, the small intestine does not produce or produce a very small amount of lactase (an enzyme) to break down lactose and therefore it cannot be absorbed. Common symptoms of Lactose intolerance are abdominal bloating, cramps, diarrhea, gas and nausea. A balanced diet of vegetables and cutting on dairy products consumption can improve the symptoms.
