What is lactose intolerance?

Asked a year ago
Lactose intolerance is a common digestive disorder where the body lacks the enzyme lactase needed to digest lactose, a natural sugar found in milk and dairy products. When lactose is consumed, it cannot be broken down into simpler sugars and properly absorbed into the bloodstream. This results in various symptoms like bloating, cramps, diarrhea, and gas. Lactose intolerance can be a permanent condition or develop gradually over time. Lactaid is a brand that offers a range of lactose-free dairy products and supplements, catering to individuals with lactose intolerance. By providing lactase enzyme, Lactaid products help the body digest lactose without causing discomfort and allow people affected by lactose intolerance to enjoy dairy without any negative consequences.
