If you suffer from cramps, bloating and nausea on a regular basis, you might be one of millions of Canadians who suffers from Lactose Intolerance, one of the most common digestive disorders today.
People with lactose intolerance have a hard time digesting lactose, the sugar found in milk and other dairy foods. Normally, an enzyme called lactase breaks down these sugars so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. People whose bodies do not produce adequate lactase can suffer from queasiness and other digestive problems within 30 minutes of eating or drinking lactose-rich foods. While the condition isn’t necessarily medically serious, the symptoms can be very uncomfortable – ranging in severity from person to person.
Lactose intolerance can affect anyone and for many, it is a normal part of aging. In North America alone, between 30 and 50 million people are lactose intolerant. In Canada, that includes approximately 1 million women and 400,000 men. Some are born with the condition, but many develop it over time. Lactose intolerance can also affect children and teens and is more common among certain ethnic groups. People of African or Asian descent, as well as Aboriginal North Americans, are particularly susceptible to this condition
