Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose because there's a shortage of an enzyme that breaks down milk sugar. It is also a little lower in milk sugar or lactose. Occasionally milk can cause abdominal cramping, gas, and diarrhea, especially if you lack adequate amounts of lactase, an intestinal enzyme that you need to digest milk sugar. |
