Three things you should know about lactose intolerance

Lactose intolerance - what it is

Many people that receive this diagnosis are perplexed, as they have either never heard of lactose or would not have thought that it could affect them. Lactose is also known as milk sugar. It is contained in most milk products. Intolerance means that your body’s ability to make use of lactose is low. If you have a sensitive tummy, which has nothing to do with the strength of your character, by the way, this leads to various abdominal discomforts. One reason for these discomforts is the use of the sugar by bacteria, which results in gases. Morover, general abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhea can result from this.

This is how you overcome your lactose intolerance sympoms

The higher your lactose intake, the more likely you are to experience the respective symptoms. Thus, one way to get over these symptoms is to reduce your consumption of foods containing it. Another way is to take in enzyme capsules. Still, both approaches sometimes only have marginal effects for people suffering from lactose intolerance. New studies suggest that so-called fructans and galactans play an important supporting role when it comes to the prevention of symptoms. These ingredients are also contained in beans and are the reason behind the saying “every bean has its tone”. Moreover, they are also included in milk and various other products. Research indicates that for many people suffering from lactose intolerance symptoms, fructans and galactans adversely influence their well-being more than lactose itself. Therefore, a sensible approach is to check whether you are intolerant towards fructans and galactans as well and then manage your consumption accordingly.
