Lactose intolerence occurs when a person who has recently consumed a dairy or milk product, will begin to experience mild to severe symptoms that include stomach cramping, flatulence and/or diarrhea. The body is unable to digest the lactose or milk sugar found in dairy and milk products resulting in uncomfortable symptoms. This inability to digest lactose is usually because of a shortage of lactase, the enzymes found on the wall lining of the small intestine. The lactase digest and absorb the lactose. If lactose is not broken down into Glucose and absorbed, it will ferment in the body causing bloating, cramping, bloating gas, diarrhea, nausea and other related lactose intolerence symptoms.
