Tag: Lactose Intolerance

Lactose intolerance is a digestive disorder where the body lacks the enzyme lactase, required to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. As a result, consuming dairy can lead to symptoms like bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Managing lactose intolerance involves avoiding dairy or taking lactase enzyme supplements to aid digestion. Understanding dietary limitations and seeking alternatives can help individuals with lactose intolerance enjoy a balanced diet while minimizing discomfort.
