WHAT IS LACTOSE INTOLERANCE

Some individuals are intolerant to dairy products because of their inability to digest the sugar in milk products. This signifies their lactose intolerance. While for some it is their inability to digest the protein in milk products and thus suffer dairy product intolerance.

It is possible, an individual could still suffers from a reaction while drinking lactose-free milk. This is due to one's intolerance to the milk proteins which can be detected through the ImuPro Test.



COMMON SYMPTOMS OF LACTOSE INTOLERANCE

They normally include the following:


  • Abdominal pain
  • Bloating
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting

Experiencing the above symptoms? If, yes. It is possible that you are suffering from a lactose intolerance. There are possibilities that an individual can develop lactose intolerance suddenly. This is due to the decrease of lactose production level in our body with age.

Iron deficiency resulting into anaemia, chronic dehydration and osteoporosis can also become fate of a lactose intolerant if left untreated.

TREATMENT OF LACTOSE INTOLERANCE

Maintaining a dairy-free diet is the simplest solution for lactose intolerance. However, lactose intolerance is not to be confused with fructose intolerance. So for that, one must positively identify the food(s) causing the reaction.

DETECTION OF LACTOSE INTOLERANCE

ImuPro cannot detect lactose intolerance because lactose intolerance is an entirely different deficiency from Type III food allergy to milk or dairy products. Lactose intolerance is an enzyme deficiency, not IgG meditated. You can be both Lactose intolerant and Type III intolerant to dairy products at the same time or you may have a lactose-intolerance but this does not decisively indicate dairy products intolerance in you.

Irritable bowel syndrome and problems digesting foods that contain fructose can also carry symptoms similar to lactose intolerance. So ImuPro test is a must under such scenarios.
