Nutrition Facts About Lactose

Lactose-Free: 10 Favorite Dairy-Free Meals

If earlier we could only find soy milk in supermarkets, now the choice of plant-based milk is huge. In addition, owners of powerful blenders (from 1000 W) can grind the nuts themselves and make homemade nut milk. We advise everyone to try dishes with vegetable milk; you will definitely discover a new taste of familiar dishes that traditionally use cow's milk.

Cheesecakes without cottage cheese

For vegans, fasting and just curious, we present a recipe for millet cheesecakes. You will need a simple set of products.

Enzymes, Part II: Lactose Intolerance - Allergy Or Not?

Lactase is an enzyme that is produced in the digestive system of all babies and some adults - mostly Europeans or people with European roots. This enzyme is absolutely necessary for the breakdown of milk and dairy products by the body.

The main function of the enzyme lactase is to break down lactose - a disaccharide compound of the simple monosaccharides galactose and glucose . Lactose makes up from 0.5% to 8% of the weight of fresh milk and in addition to human milk is found in all dairy products - yogurt, cheese, cheese, cottage cheese, ice cream, sour cream, ice cream and more.

Everyone is born with high levels of lactase in their body - the enzyme is vital because without it it would be impossible to process breast milk . However, with weaning in most people, levels of this enzyme gradually fall to an absolute minimum, no longer recover, and a deficiency of the molecule called hypolactasia - lactose intolerance - occurs .

In a small part of the world's population, this enzyme is also present in adults and gives them lactose tolerance . This is due to a genetic mutation that occurred 8,000-10,000 years ago in human populations involved in cattle breeding and dairy farming. Today, their descendants are able to use milk and dairy products as food even after childhood, because their ability to produce the enzyme lactase in adulthood has evolved over the millennia.

Symptoms of lactose intolerance are caused by the body's inability to break down lactose-containing products. Undigested lactose becomes toxic in the digestive tract and, depending on the amount of dairy product ingested, symptoms vary: bloating and painful stomach cramps, uncontrolled flatulence, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, fatigue and dizziness. They occur 30 to 120 minutes after ingestion of a product containing lactose.

However, some of these symptoms overlap with those of milk allergy, which creates the preconditions for misdiagnosis . Allergy is different from intolerance . While allergies are due to the body's over-strong immune response to foreign matter, intolerance develops due to the lack or deficiency of the enzyme needed to break down - the immune system does not intervene in this case.

Milk allergy affects about 50 million people worldwide or from 0.3% to 0.5% of the population. It is important to recognize it in time, because unlike intolerance, which is rather an inconvenience for modern man, allergies can be fatal, especially in individuals aged 8 to 16 years.

Symptoms of milk allergy range from gastrointestinal to cutaneous and respiratory. Often the first attack of milk allergy begins with a mild skin rash and itching, vomiting, stomach pain, constipation, rhinitis and flatulence - can easily be mistaken for intolerance. However, without medical intervention or adequate medication, the condition can quickly escalate to allergic colitis, shortness of breath, headache, unstable tachycardia and anaphylactic shock - life-threatening conditions that require urgent medical attention.

Both intolerance and allergy to milk and dairy products can be identified quickly and easily with hospital tests. If one of the two conditions is suspected, it is advisable to consult a personal physician and accurately diagnose one of the two conditions.

Foods That Can Be Consumed In Case Of Lactose Intolerance

There are foods that can replace dairy products if you have lactose intolerance. Here are some of the foods that lactose intolerance sufferers can consume.

Probiotics are valuable, whether taken with food or a supplement. They nourish the good bacteria by helping digestion and absorption of nutrients. They can also help increase lactase production, allowing the consumption of moderate amounts of dairy products. This can also be achieved through foods such as artichokes, asparagus, bananas, chicory, onions, garlic and tomatoes.

Kefir is another food that is tolerated by people with lactase deficiency. It is fermented milk rich in probiotics . After consuming it, the weight in the stomach is reduced from 54 to 71%.

Lack of calcium contained in dairy products can lead to problems with bones, nervous system, muscles and even the heart. Kale can be consumed, which has even higher levels of calcium than cow's milk. Tofu, cabbage, broccoli, tahini, nuts and orange juice are also suitable.

By avoiding dairy products, the intake of both vitamin K and vitamin D is reduced. Fortunately, there are alternative sources of both. Vitamin K is obtained through green leafy vegetables, Brussels sprouts , basil, broccoli, chicken liver and others. Vitamin D can be obtained through beef, fish, egg yolk and mushrooms.

Flaxseed , almond, hemp and oat milks are also available on the market .

A glass of water with a little apple cider vinegar may be helpful if you have symptoms of lactose intolerance. Its enzymes help digestion and prevent bloating and intestinal cramps . Ginger is also effective.

Lactose intolerance manifests itself in the inability to absorb milk sugar, called lactose . The most common symptoms are bloating, pain, cramps, diarrhea or vomiting after consuming dairy products. They appear from minutes to several hours after consuming milk. There are also hidden sources of lactose: bread, pancakes, cereals, sweeteners, processed meats and some medicines.

Breastfeeding And Lactose Intolerance

Mothers are often told that the baby is lactose intolerant because he cries a lot, is nervous and has gas.

Many newborns spit milk, vomit, have gas, simply because their gastrointestinal tract is still immature (it takes time to learn to process breast milk). That's why breastfed babies start with small amounts of colostrum. In this way, the newborn's digestive system is facilitated and gradually shifts to receiving larger amounts of milk.

What is lactase?

Lactase is an enzyme that the body uses to process lactose (the sugar in milk). If the body does not produce this enzyme or does not produce enough of it, unprocessed milk sugar passes to the colon. There, bacteria break it down to produce acids and gases that cause stomach pain and diarrhea. Babies have loose, sometimes green, and frothy stools, as well as irritability (nervousness). This condition is referred to as lactose intolerance.

Does breast milk contain lactose?

All mammalian milks are unique and species-specific. The human is also different from any other. It contains more whey protein than casein (which gives it a "bluish" hue) and has the highest concentration of lactose of all mammals. Lactose is the main carbohydrate in breast milk and is essential for proper growth and development. The amount of milk sugar in breast milk does not depend on what the mother consumes. The milk that the baby receives when he starts feeding (front milk) contains almost the same amount of lactose as the milk at the end of breastfeeding (back milk). However, back milk contains more fat.

Causes of lactose intolerance

This condition is more common in adults and children over 4-5 years of age from many ethnic groups. It is extremely rare in newborns. Due to:

insufficient amount of the enzyme lactase, which breaks down lactose (milk sugar);
damage to the intestinal mucosa - gastroenteritis, infectious diarrhea or other disorders of the gastrointestinal tract;
oversupply of breast milk - most exclusively breastfed babies are not fed, but sometimes this can happen due to overproduction of milk. The problem in these cases is not the lactose in the milk, but the fact that the baby gets more milk (and more lactose), which their digestive system cannot process.

Lactose intolerance in infants

Primary or true lactose intolerance

This is an extremely rare genetic condition in which infants are born with an inability to digest the lactose contained in all dairy products, including formula and breast milk. A baby with lactose intolerance does not gain weight and shows obvious symptoms of malabsorption and dehydration. Urgent medical intervention is needed, and the baby will need a special diet soon after birth.

Babies have an abundance of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose. It begins to be produced from the 24th week of gestation and continues to be synthesized in abundance between 2.5 and 7 years of age, even more. While older children and adults often have lactose intolerance, primary lactose intolerance is extremely rare in infants.

In fact, it is so rare that most medical practitioners and breastfeeding counselors never encounter such a case in their practice. However, with age, the body can develop lactase deficiency, which is why it is more common to hear about adults and older children with this problem.

Secondary lactose intolerance

Secondary lactase deficiency is a symptom caused entirely by another problem. Your baby may have one after using antibiotics, gastrointestinal illness, or poor nutrition.

Because the enzyme lactase is produced at the very tips of the microscopic hairs of the gut, anything that damages the intestinal lining can cause secondary lactose intolerance. Examples may be:

gastroenteritis;
food intolerance or allergy. In breastfed infants, this may come from dietary proteins, such as cow's milk, wheat, soy or eggs, or possibly other nutrients that pass into breast milk from the mother's diet or from the food the child has consumed;
parasitic infection such as giardiasis or cryptosporidiosis;
celiac disease (intolerance to gluten in wheat and some other cereals);
after bowel surgery.

Foods to which the baby is allergic or intolerant can pass into it through breast milk. In some cases, removing food to which the baby responds (such as cow's milk) from the mother's diet can help. If you want to try to remove a product from your menu due to suspicion that the baby has an allergy or intolerance, consult a specialist to guide you which foods may be an allergen, and to make sure that your diet will be nutritionally adequate. (for both you and the baby).

Allergy to cow's milk protein is often confused with lactose intolerance. And a lot of people think they're the same thing, but they're not. Confusion can occur because cow's milk protein and lactose occur simultaneously in the same food, ie. in dairy products. In addition, milk protein allergy can cause secondary lactose intolerance, which further contributes to this confusion.

Secondary lactose intolerance is temporary if the bowel damage can be treated. When the cause is removed, for example as food from the mother's menu to which the breastfed baby is allergic, the intestinal damage will be cured. If your doctor diagnoses "lactose intolerance," continuing to breastfeed will not harm your baby.

While the baby is showing symptoms of lactose intolerance, the mother may alternate breastfeeding with lactose-free foods. Experts recommend the use of lactose-free formula if the baby is not on natural nutrition; if you are very malnourished and / or lose weight. However, human milk remains the best food and will help the child's recovery. In addition, the infant's sensitivity to foreign proteins (cow's milk or soy) should be considered before the introduction of any type of formula, as regular and lactose-free milk can worsen his condition. You should seek professional advice on choosing a hypoallergenic product. The baby should be monitored by a specialist to monitor symptoms and weight gain.

Symptoms of lactose intolerance

nervousness;
colic;
gases;
bright green stools.

What can I do if my baby is lactose intolerant?

Symptoms can be treated, and breastfeeding can (and should) continue without interruption. Lactose intolerance is not an allergy to breast milk and is not a contraindication to breastfeeding. When a breastfed baby shows signs of lactose intolerance, breast milk is not a problem and switching to formula is not a solution.

Many babies will have lactose intolerance due to overproduction and oversupply of breast milk by the mother. Treating the problem of overeating should resolve the symptoms of lactose intolerance in the baby.

When the baby needs to take antibiotics or has some kind of gastrointestinal disease, the structures in the intestinal epithelium that produce lactase can be damaged. As a result, the infant may show signs of lactose intolerance while being treated. Continuing breastfeeding will lead to the fastest recovery, because breast milk is the easiest food to process, and also contains a lot of immunoglobulins and has healing properties.

It is usually better to maintain breastfeeding - feeding the baby lactose-free formula is sometimes an option, but it does not always help him feel more comfortable.

When breastfeeding, make sure the baby has completely sucked the breast (to make sure he has received the back milk - rich in fat), then offer the other breast. This often helps. The fat in milk slows down digestion so that lactose is broken down by lactase and absorbed.

Try to create a certain regimen with about 3 hours interval between meals. If the baby wants to feed before this period, offer the "empty" breast again (from which he was last breastfed).

Conclusion

As it turned out, there are several types of lactose intolerance, but it is very rare to have to stop breastfeeding due to this condition. The only exception is the rare primary type of lactose intolerance.

According to some, lactose intolerance is a term widely used to encourage breastfeeding mothers to switch to formula. In fact, very few babies really have this problem.

Before stopping natural feeding and offering an alternative, consult a healthcare professional and breastfeeding consultant. Companies that produce formula milk promote their products through advertising and easily convince frightened parents that their products are better for the baby.

If You Are Lactose Intolerant

But simply because a country beverages a whole lot of milk and has plenty of most cancers doesn’t suggest the individuals inside the United States of America that are drinking the milk are becoming the most cancers.

If You Are Lactose Intolerant Can You Eat Eggs

That’s why we need “cohort reviews,” wherein you discover how much milk people drink, and comply with the ones individuals through the years, and notice if people who drink extra milk get extra most cancers. There were dozens of such studies finished.

Put them all together, and “[i]ntakes of total dairy products [including low-fat milk] have been [indeed] related to accelerated [prostate cancer] hazard.” The query is…why?

Maybe it’s simply all the calcium. They observed that the extra calcium people fed on, the better their chance of prostate most cancers.

If You Are Lactose Intolerant Can You Eat Yogurt

Yeah, but the general public get their calcium from dairy.

So, How Do We Know This Isn’t Just A Dairy Effect?

Before we begin demanding approximately kale and other non-dairy assets of calcium, it would be first-rate to peer dairy calcium teased out from non-dairy calcium intakes.

And that’s precisely what they did.

Yes, the greater calcium from dairy resources, the better the threat of most cancers, but non-dairy resources of calcium had been determined to be defensive.

If You Are Lactose Intolerant Can You Eat Cheese

So, it wasn’t a calcium effect;

it become a dairy effect.

This suggests that “different additives of dairy” can be to blame. They advise it’s the animal protein, boosting the tiers of a most cancers-selling increase hormone referred to as IGF-1:

insulin-like boom component 1.

If You Are Lactose Intolerant What Does That Mean

If you observe 28 reports involving almost 28,000 people—this is what’s called an albatross plot. Any study to the proper of this line indicates a link between IGF-1 stages and dairy merchandise, milk mainly, or dairy protein intake.

And, any research hitting this line or over depicts a big association with higher IGF-1 levels.

This can also give an explanation for why plant-based totally diets can be so shielding. Put watch-and-wait cancer patients on an entire-meals, plant-primarily based eating regimen for a 12 months—no chemo, no radiation;

If You Are Lactose Intolerant Can You Eat Goat Cheese

lifestyle modifications handiest—and get “a full-size discount in PSA degree[s],” indicative of tumor shrinkage:

their bloodstream turning into almost eight times higher at suppressing the boom of cancer cells. Do biopsies, and you can display changes within gene expression, a down-regulation of vital cancer genes, efficiently switching off cancer increase genes at a genetic level.

Whereas, in case you instead devour plenty of dairy after a prostate cancer prognosis, you can go through “a 76% better danger of” dying widely wide-spread, “and a 141% [increased] danger of” dying in particular from your cancer.

Even with out IGF-1, the milk protein casein appears to be a most cancers cell “proliferation promoting element,” increasing the boom of prostate cancer cells, as a minimum in a petri dish.

If You Are Lactose Intolerant What Can You Eat

And the equal element with whey, the other most important animal protein within dairy.

See, “nearly 100% of superior” prostate cancers thrive by means of upregulating a boom enzyme called TOR.

And, dairy protein boosts TOR signaling even higher, which only makes experience. Calves have to develop like 40 times faster than human babies, and so cow’s milk must be full of growth promoters, now not to say the hormones within milk.

Especially from cows who are already pregnant again.

If You Are Lactose Intolerant Can You Drink Almond Milk

This “[c]ommercialized milk production by using pregnant cows releases out of control amounts of bovine steroid… [hormones] into the human meals chain.” And so, the combination “can also [well] explain the discovered affiliation between high dairy consumption and increased hazard of [prostate cancer].” “From an evolutionary perspective…the chronic ‘abuse’ of the growth-promoting signaling machine of bovine milk through humans over their entire lifestyles span [not just drinking milk during infancy] keeps the maximum important hallmark of cancer biology:” this “sustained proliferative signaling” to develop, develop, develop. And so, there’s this hobby within trying “to outline [the] safe top limits for long-term milk and dairy intake for the prevention of the maximum not unusual dairy-promoted cancer in guys.” But if you observe diet and most cancers tenet guidelines, yeah, milk may also growth threat of prostate cancer.

“However, no recommendation changed into supplied for [cutting down on dairy] due to the fact the proof for prostate most cancers conflicted with reduced risk of colorectal most cancers.” High dairy intake is associated with elevated prostate cancer danger, however reduced colon cancer threat.

So, it’s like alcohol can be an “intoxicating carcinogen,” but “policymakers hesitate to introduce powerful alcohol regulations, or maybe to guide the addition of [cancer-warning] labels, for fear they could undermine [any] possible health advantages of alcohol use.” Now, I’ve pointed out how the purported advantages of alcohol seem like “evaporating.” Is dairy really defensive towards colon cancer? If you positioned all of the cohort experiences collectively, where they measured dairy intake and then followed people for years to see who got cancer, milk and overall dairy intake changed into indeed “related to a discount in colorectal most cancers risk,” one among our deadliest cancers.

If You Are Lactose Intolerant Can You Eat Butter

Now, individuals who drink greater milk just manifest to generally tend to exercising more, smoke much less, drink much less, devour less meat—that can provide an explanation for a number of the association.

“However, a few of the experiences adjusted for [these kinds of] confounding elements.” More possibly, it become the protective effects of the calcium, “which can also bind [up] seasoned-inflammatory…bile acids in the intestine,” though excessive-fat dairy products, like cheese, can also in reality increase bile acids, explaining why the cheese seemed to cancel out the calcium benefit.

So, Might We Be Able To Get The Best Of Both Worlds By Consuming Non-Dairy Calcium Sources?

If you randomize humans to calcium supplements, you can get a sizable discount within recurring colon polyps, which could in any other case become most cancers, though calcium pills were related to unfavourable cardiovascular outcomes.
