Symptoms of lactose intolerance include nausea,
bloating, abdominal pain or cramps, abundant gas,
and diarrhea. These symptoms usually begin anywhere
from 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating a food
that contains lactose.
Symptoms of lactose intolerance
can be uncomfortable enough to temporarily interfere
with daily activities, however, they do not harm the
digestive system and lactose intolerance does not progress
to any other disease or disorder.
Lactose intolerance is a condition caused by the
inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk. The
lactose intolerance diet is a diet designed to treat
the symptoms that result from undigested lactose.
No single person originated the lactose intolerance
diet. Physicians treating symptoms of lactose
intolerance have developed this diet through observation
and trial and error by their patients.
