Tag: Primary Lactase Non-persistence

Primary lactase non-persistence, also known as lactose intolerance, is a condition where the body produces less lactase enzyme as individuals age. This can lead to difficulty digesting lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. Symptoms may include bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and diarrhea after consuming dairy. Managing lactose intolerance involves limiting or avoiding dairy products, taking lactase enzyme supplements, and choosing lactose-free alternatives to maintain a balanced diet and minimize discomfort.
