{"product_id":"2940153795027","title":"Lactose Intolerance, A Simple Guide To The Condition, Diagnosis, Treatment And Related Conditions","description":"\u003cp\u003eLactose intolerance is a medical disorder in adults and children who have trouble digesting lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and other dairy foods.\u003cbr\u003eAn enzyme called lactase is needed by the body to digest lactose.\u003cbr\u003eLactose intolerance occurs when the small intestine does not produce enough of this enzyme.\u003cbr\u003eAs with everything the patient eats, the body needs to digest lactose to produce energy for body.\u003cbr\u003ePeople with lactose intolerance do not make enough lactase in their small intestine.\u003cbr\u003eWithout lactase, the body cannot properly digest food that has lactose in it.\u003cbr\u003eThis means that if the patient eats dairy foods, the lactose from these foods will pass into the intestine, which can lead to gas, cramps, a bloated feeling, and diarrhea which is loose, watery stools.\u003cbr\u003e1. Many cases of lactose intolerance are genetic.\u003cbr\u003eThat means that something in these people's genes makes them more likely to develop it.\u003cbr\u003e2. People can also develop lactose intolerance for other reasons.\u003cbr\u003eSometimes another illness may maintain the intestine from producing adequate lactase.\u003cbr\u003e3. For example, people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease, or other long-term disorders that affect the intestines are often lactose intolerant.\u003cbr\u003eSymptoms often occur 30 minutes to 2 hours after having milk products.\u003cbr\u003eSymptoms may be worse when the patient consume large amounts.\u003cbr\u003eSymptoms are:\u003cbr\u003e1. Abdominal bloating\u003cbr\u003e2. Abdominal cramps\u003cbr\u003e3. Diarrhea\u003cbr\u003eTests to help diagnose lactose intolerance are:\u003cbr\u003e1. Lactose-hydrogen breath test\u003cbr\u003e2. Lactose tolerance test\u003cbr\u003eThere is no cure for lactose intolerance, but limiting the intake of food and drink containing lactose will usually help control the symptoms.\u003cbr\u003eCutting down the intake of milk products that contain lactose from the diet most often eases symptoms.\u003cbr\u003eThe patient will play a big part in how the patient feels because it is up to the patient to watch what the patient eat.\u003cbr\u003eThere are also many lactose-free dairy products available.\u003cbr\u003eThe patient can add lactase enzymes to regular milk.\u003cbr\u003eThe patient can eat or drink milk and milk products that have reduced lactose or other foods instead of milk and milk products\u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENT\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Lactose Intolerance\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 Causes\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 Symptoms\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 Diagnosis\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 Treatment\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 Prognosis\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 Irritable Bowel Syndrome\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 Food Allergy\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kenneth Kee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122702991600,"sku":"2940153795027","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940153795027_p0.jpg?v=1764056733","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940153795027","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
