Joanne > > http://www.gastro.org/public/brochures/lactose.html > Even though lactose intolerance is a widespread problem, it need not pose a serious threat to good health. People who have trouble digesting lactose can learn, by testing themselves, which dairy products and other foods they can eat without discomfort and which ones they should avoid. Many will be able to enjoy milk, ice cream, and other such products if they take them in small amounts or eat other kinds of food at the same time. Others can use lactase liquid or tablets to help digest the lactose. Even older women and children who must avoid milk and foods made with milk can meet most of their special dietary needs by eating greens, fish, and other calcium-rich foods that are free of lactose. A carefully chosen diet (with calcium supplements if the doctor recommends them) is the key to reducing symptoms and protecting future health. > > Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, which is the predominant sugar of milk. Close to 50 million American adults are lactose intolerant. Certain ethnic and racial populations are more widely affected than others. As many as 75 percent of all African-American, Jewish, Native American, and Mexican-American adults, and 90 percent of Asian-American adults are lactose intolerant. The condition is least common among people of northern European descent. > > What Causes Lactose Intolerance? > > Lactose intolerance results from a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is normally produced by the cells that line the small intestine. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into simpler forms that can then be absorbed into the blood stream. When there is not enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose consumed, the results, although not usually dangerous, may be very distressing. > > Common symptoms include nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea, which begin about 30 minutes to two hours after eating or drinking foods containing lactose. Many people who have never been diagnosed as lactose intolerant or " lactase deficient " may notice that milk and other dairy products cause problems that don't occur when eating other foods. The severity of symptoms varies depending on the amount of lactose each individual can tolerate. > > Some causes of lactose intolerance are well known. For instance, certain digestive diseases and injuries to the small intestine can reduce the amount of enzymes produced. In rare cases, children are born without the ability to produce lactase. For most people, though, lactase deficiency is a condition that develops naturally, over time. After about the age of two years, the body begins to produce less lactase. The reasons for this are unclear and still under study. However, symptoms may occur years after childhood. > > What Diagnostic Tests are Used to Detect Lactose Intolerance? > > The most common tests used to measure the absorption of lactose in the digestive system are the lactose intolerance test, the hydrogen breath test, and the stool acidity test. A doctor can tell you where to go for these tests, which are performed on an outpatient basis at a hospital or clinic. A clinical response to lactose restriction may also be sufficient, at times > > > __________________________________________________________________________ Freeserve AnyTime - Go online whenever you want for just £6.99 a month for your first 3 months, that's HALF PRICE!

Steve, lactose intolerance can be reduced or eliminated by increasing bowel health. A correct bowel population of the probiotic bacteria bifidobacteria and lactobacilli then use it up before it becomes a problem.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I have made a lot of progress in my Candida, but am still working on it. I've only been at it for about 2 months. I credit the progress so far with diet (the usual story of no sweeteners, no yeast products, no gluten, no milk products, etc.) and Grapefruit Seed Extract. You will see me post my successes as I go, I am sure. I have tried probiotics and continue to do so, but have not had luck with it yet. There are a few factors that could be interfering with its effectiveness which I am playing with, and I haven't given up on it yet. Most confusing to me is fruit. For instance, watermelon seems to be fine, but oranges aren't. I'd be curious to see what people who have more significant experience than me have found out about which fruits they tolerate and which they don't. I know it will vary from person to person and even from moment to moment, but I am wondering if there would be some patterns of similarity, other than not eating too much of one thing over a period of time. wrote: > So, how did you solve your Candida problem - presumably without > probiotics > or inulin? > > > Re: Re: lactose intolerance > > > > I looked up inulin on a web search and came up with this page > > recommending to stay far away from inulin products.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 : A lot of people report being able to tolerate dark berries and not-too-sweet apples (low glycemic content). All of which are good for you. Turns out the ole " apple a day " saying was very true.

Hi Steve, Sorry, but the message is the same; carbs increase bad bowel bacteria, and the good bacteria don't do as well on it, and correcting that may get you to accepting food more normally.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I think Shefy is trying to say that lactose isn't the only problem with dairy for many people. I know that I have very high IgG reactions to casein and whey. I am not sure if the cause is any way related to lactose intolerance. Actually I never thought it would be. I couldn't tolerate milk as a baby, but I wonder if I had gut damage as an infant, because my mom started feeding me grains VERY early, like a few weeks old, to help me " sleep better through the night. " I wonder if I can possibly have fermented dairy, like kefir, once my gut is healed. I also wonder if whey is broken down into free form amino acids (and no longer the whole whey protein) so that I could benefit from whey protein shakes. Rice now I am using rice protein. -Olif...who is taking her inulin now. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 , lactose intolerance can be seen as an indicator of bowel dysbiosis. As bowel culture improves, your lactic acid (probiotic) bacteria digest the lactose before you can react to it and also before the pathogenic organisms get it due to your probiotic organims comprising about a third of the bacterial fluorish in the colon.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Hi, Thanks, Olif, for commenting on your early start on grains. My mother started me on them at 10 days old, and I've had health problems all my life, ranging from severe food allergies (coupled with allergies to dust, pollen, animals), excema, childhood asthma, childhood warts, a lifelong battle with my weight, as well as adult- onset sensitivity to many chemicals, and a problem with cellulte. I'm not trying to blame Ma, as I was her first and she was trying to " nourish " me, after being advised not to breastfeed me (evidently breastfeeding wasn't vogue when I was born). But I have often wondered how much effect the early start on grains and the lack of mother's milk had on me, my immunity, and my digestive health. -Lori (soon to try undenatured whey and inulin, thanks to Duncan) > > I think Shefy is trying to say that lactose isn't the only problem with dairy for many people.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Hi Olif, The milk you couldn't tolerate as a baby, would that be cow's milk? In absence of dysbiosis, which causes symptoms of lactose intolerance in some people, a whey intolerance is almost definitely due to the bovine-specific components such as casein, and these can be removed as they are in Immunocal for example (I don't sell Immunocal); the product is listed in the Physicians Desk Reference for Prescription Drugs (yes, Immunocal is available under prescription) as being well tolerated even by severely milk-sensitive individuals, and this is precisely where undenatured whey products differ from each other. All food is broken down into free form amino acids, ionic minerals and very short peptides before absorption through the intestinal wall, provided leaky gut does not exist; leaky gut increases intestinal porosity to the point that undigested food, toxins and bacteria, which are pretty large, can fall through the intestine wall.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yes, Duncan, it is cow's milk I couldn't tolerate as an infant- until I was about 2 1/2 years old anyway. I think my body just learned how to cope with it by then though. Actually it didn't cope all that well, because I had my tonsils out when I was 6. They were always enlarged, but not infected- probably a result of my dairy intolerance. I probably shouldn't have had it at all. It has been slightly over a year now since I eliminated dairy. I also showed high IgG levels to goat's milk on the test I took last fall. I hadn't even realized I was exposed to goat's milk. I imagine it is the casein in that I am reacting to as well. Can you recommend a specific brand of undenatured whey protein that would be tolerated by someone with a whey sensitivity? I am almost out of rice protein, and would love to switch to whey. I don't want to take the chance spending money on one I can't tolerate though, so it would really help if you can recommend one!

I am still unsure if my gut was damaged early on and that is why I couldn't tolerate dairy, or if I am really allergic to it. I think I would like to get an IgA test one of these days, because they are more permanent allergies from what I understand. Even if I was negative, I am still pretty convinced that dairy isn't the best thing to eat. I would really enjoy milk kefir though. I used to love it before I went dairy free. Were you able to drink milk or milk based formula as a baby? I was on soy after a few months of being breastfed. :-( -Olif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 > Were you able to drink milk or milk based formula as a baby? Yes, I was fortunate enough not to be put on formula; I drank cow's milk from birth. I have also been fortunate enough never to have any noticeable lactose intolerance; however, in my dairy-free ventures, it has been apparent to me that returning to (classic) dairy sources has not been a good thing. I typically notice a corresponding increase in nasal congestion, pollen allergies, and phlegm. But more than that, excess dairy pales the color of my face within hours. Oh yeah, and when I followed the allergy rotation diet, I would drink a quart of raw-milk kefir once every 4 days. And it got to the point where I could feel my energy level lower after I drank my kefir (maybe b/c a quart was too much to drink in one day). -Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" This is exactly how I noticed I couldn't tolerate dairy (and gluten as well)- I eliminated them for a few weeks and tried eating them again. A couple months after that I took an IgG test which showed very high levels to dairy and surprisingly nothing to gluten or any of the gluten grains, although I definitely can't tolerate them. I might have an IgA to gluten. I have no idea. I get very nauseous 2 hours (almost to the minute) of consuming either one of them. The same is true for cane sugar, but I didn't realize that one until I took the test. I tried eating something with sugar in it a couple months ago, and got extremely sick to my stomach. Until then, I had no idea it ever bothered me. -Olif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 And, as others have suggested, some dairy products have more lactose than others. Aged cheeses tend to have less. Lactose intolerance is ten times more common than casein intolerance. H. In a message dated 12/3/08 12:52:53 AM, marcianar@... writes: In the case of celiac and lactose intolerance, if you're lactose intolerant due to damaged villi (the tips of the villi produce the lactase enzyme that digests milk products) you will likely experience problems eating/drinking dairy until you heal and the villi regrow. Usually it takes months to years for complete regrowth. Basically, if you're feeling miserable consuming dairy, you have 2 choices to fix the problem. Drop it completely for now, and try re-introducing it in 3 to 6 months, or use lactase enzyme supplements to see if they give you any relief. Maureen **************Life should be easier.
