Lactose is a natural disaccharide that occurs in milk and dairy products. The so-called lactic sugar consists of the simple sugars glucose and glucose.strong data-end=""388"" data-start=""375"">galactose, which are broken down into their components in the small intestine with the help of the enzyme lactase. Most people can digest lactose without any problems. With lactose intolerance, however, the body produces too little or no lactase, meaning that the lactose reaches the large intestine undigested. This results in unpleasant symptoms such as flatulence, abdominal pain, diarrhoea or nausea after eating dairy products.
Lactose intolerance is common worldwide, especially among people of Asian, African or South American descent. Although it is not a disease, it can severely affect the quality of life - especially in regions where dairy products are part of the daily diet. The symptoms occur when undigested lactose is fermented in the large intestine by intestinal bacteria, which leads to gas formation and digestive problems. Anyone suffering from lactose intolerance should specifically choose lactose-free products or dairy-free alternatives. such as soya milk, almond milk or oat drink. Fermented milk products such as yoghurt or ripened cheese also often only contain small amounts of lactose and can be well tolerated in small quantities.
