Lactose is a type of milk sugar found in dairy products and many processed or prepared foods like sauces, soups, and breakfast cereals too. People with lactose intolerance are unable to digest such food items. Lactose is typically broken down by lactase, an enzyme in the small intestine and many people around the world are unable to produce lactase which results in indigestion.
If consumed, products that contain lactose can trigger adverse side effects like bloating, stomach pain, and diarrhea in lactose-intolerant people.
Fortunately, regular intake of a lactose-free diet can reduce health problems for those with this condition. At the same time some may also choose to adopt a lactose-free diet to decrease their consumption of dairy products.
