1. Causes of lactose intolerance
The key to understanding lactose intolerance is to know the etiology of the disease. Total lactase deficiency, secondary enzyme deficiency or adult-type hypolactase are distinguished. Alaktazia, congenital lactase deficit, is a complete lack of enzyme, a disease with a genetic basis.2. What are the symptoms of intolerance?
Undigested sugar is used by bacteria in the digestive tract. In the fermentation process, lactose produces gases such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, as well as short-chain organic acids, e.g. lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butter.3. Am I being intolerant?
The diagnosis of intolerance is based on a medical interview, a clinical picture, and a direct or indirect diagnostic test. The most popular test is a hydrogen respiratory test. It consists of administering a specific dose of lactose and then monitoring the concentration of hydrogen in the exhaled air.4. Sources of lactose in the diet
Lactose is a dairy sugar found in milk and dairy products. It is added by many manufacturers to baked goods, margarine, instant soups, meat products.5. How to eat Practical advice
The method of lactose intolerance is dependent on the extent to which the body reacts to dairy products. It consists in limiting the intake of or taking lactose in small amounts while simultaneously supplying the enzyme in the form of tablets or excluding products containing lactose. People with reduced lactose sensitivity may consume milk in small quantities at specified intervals.6. Elimination diet for lactose intolerance
People with high sensitivity should exclude milk, dairy products and lactose-deficient sources. Even the smallest doses can cause discomfort and gastrointestinal disorders. As a result of the introduction of restrictions, patients are at risk of developing deficiencies in certain nutrients such as calcium, vitamins B1 and B12.7. Effect of vitamin D levels on calcium
Low levels of vitamin D can interfere with calcium absorption. In addition to milk, it is found in food products such as eggs, however, fish is not sufficient as a food product. In order to obtain an adequate amount of vitamin, sun exposure is required. In moderate geographical latitudes, 1015 minutes of sun exposure in the exposed front and lower legs (filters) is sufficient. Those who do not stay in the sun require an annual dose of Dina supplements from May to the end of August. In the case of children and adolescents (118 years of age) at the age of 12 months, a daily dose of 800 IU/day is required for the test.
