Lactose Free Milk is advised for somebody who has got Lactose intolerance. Lactose is a sugar in our milk, which the milk has . Our body has got an enzyme to digest this Lactose. If this enzyme is deficiency, then this Lactose doesn’t get absorbed, when this sugar doesn’t get absorbed this goes to our intestine and in our intestine lot of bacterias are there. They feed on this sugars and we start developing abdominal discomfort, pain diarrhea, bloating, then this condition is called as Lactose intolerance. Then these pats with Lactose intolerance, we treat them with Lactose free milk . because of they take the develop this Lactose intolerance and then what are the advantages and disadvantages for Lactose free milk. The Lactose may be less in people who consume Lactose free milk , but they cannot absorbed thus and it will create a problems from them. That is why Lactose Free Milk has to be taken by patients who are lactose intolerant. Not that somebody who just thinks that they are lactose intolerant and they need to have Lactose Free Milk. How do we say somebody has lactose intolerance. There is a test called as breath tests, where we give them lactose and obverse their breath using a special machine that looks into the gas in their breath and we say it is lactose intolerance. we do a endoscopy where we check the large intestine and we put into the jar and if the lactose enzyme is insufficient, then it will change its colour. The simples method is after taking milk they immediately develop bloating, gas, pain diarrhea this is a crude way of developing lactose intolerance. After 20 years we see most of them lactose insufficiency, except in Northern part of India we see in Punjab, we see people have this lactase enzyme for a very long time, otherwise most of us we become lactase enzyme deficiency when we cross 20 years of age.
