Lactose Intolerance
Lactose intolerance is the body's difficulty in digesting the sugar present in milk and its derivatives, due to reduced activity of the enzyme responsible for processing it.
Common symptoms:
- bloating and abdominal pain
- gas
- diarrhea
- nausea after consuming dairy
Contributing factors: individual predisposition, age, and certain intestinal conditions that reduce the enzyme.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist studies digestive discomfort related to food, and the dietitian provides guidance on how to adjust the diet; in children the pediatrician takes part. If you consistently feel unwell after consuming dairy, the advisable thing is to have it assessed by a professional who reviews your case.
