Answer 2

Lactose Intolerance



Lactose is a complex sugar that is found in milk. Lactose intolerance results from the body’s inability to properly digest lactose. The key, literally, to digesting lactose is an enzyme called lactase. Lactase is produced in the small intestine and breaks, or hydrolyzes, lactose into its two component simple sugars – glucose and galactose. These two simple sugars are then absorbed into the bloodstream.

However, many people do not produce a sufficient quantity of lactase to hydrolyze the lactose consumed. As a result, lactose continues through the digestive system and is fermented by bacteria that are resident there. This fermentation process produces various gases similar to the process used to make wine. This leads to the normal symptoms of lactose intolerance – gas, bloating and diarrhea.

It is estimated that 50 – 70 million Americans and nearly three out of four people around the world are affected by lactose intolerance. Certain racial and ethnic populations are affected more than others. People of African or Asian decent are more likely to be lactose intolerant. People of northern European decent are less likely to be afflicted. Also, the production of lactase by the body reduces with age so older people are more likely to exhibit the symptoms than younger people.

Lactose intolerance, although involving uncomfortable symptoms, is not a health threat. Many people find a certain amount of relief by use of lactase supplements but the best way to avoid the symptoms is by change in diet to reduce, or eliminate, dairy and lactose ingredients.

There has been recent research that indicates significant improvement or elimination of the symptoms of lactose intolerance can be achieved through the use of Lactagen. This research was conducted using a "double-blind" clinical study of 60 people who had lactose intolerance. Double blind means the neither the study participant nor the researcher knew who received the Lactagen and which received the placebo.

Answer 3

There's a few. I have this problem so I am qualified to speak! I was ok until I was in my forties, then it came on gradually. First I got cramps then the runs. Sometimes I get a queasy stomach. Sometimes one of the above or any combination. Within 3 hours of forgetting to take a few Lactaid pills, it will hit. BUT sometimes I forget to take a pill and nothing happens?????Go figure. I never tried the lactaid drops but I heard they work ok. I use the Ex strength chewable pills, myself! I was already on the floor curled up in the fetal position screaming for death, because the gas pains were so severe. Then the runs come and you are very weak for a while but, then it's ok. That is the worst case scenario. Cheese, creamy salad dressing and spagetti sauce seem to be the three biggest things that set me off. I can eat everything else.
