| | | Lactose Intolerance is a form of allergic indigestion which is much
more common in certain non-Caucasian races than in Caucasian. It is due to
lack in the intestine of the enzyme known as lactase which
is responsible for the digestion of lactose, the sugar in milk. In such
individuals the taking of milk is followed by nausea, a sensation of
bloating, or distension, in the gut, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Such
disturbances after taking milk may also be due to the individual's being
allergic to milk. Treatment is by means of a low-lactose diet. Foodstuffs
high in lactose, such as fresh or powdered milk, and milk puddings should
be avoided. Most people subject to it can tolerate fermented milk products
and the small amounts of milk used in baking and added to margarine and
sausages. It is said to occur in up to 80 per cent of non-Caucasian adults
but only 5 per cent of Caucasian adults.
