Lactose intolerance
It occurs when small intestine doesn't produce enough of an enzyme (lactase) to digest milk sugar (lactose).
In the presence of intestinal dysbacteriosis, substances produced by the microbial breakdown of lactose in the large intestine have a toxic effect and can cause
- diarrhea;
- flatulence;
- abdominal cramps and pain;
- nausea and vomiting;
- increased fatigue;
- and, according to some reports, even psychiatric disorders.People with lactose intolerance accumulate lactose in huge quantities. This leads to increased reproduction of bacteria that feed on milk sugar, and such conditions multiply the risk of acne and acne.
Even if you tolerated dairy as a child, this can change as you get older. Over the years, many people lose the ability to properly digest dairy products.
