The concept of lactose intolerance has become embedded in Western medicine and developing economy medicine. It is based on evidence that intestinal lactase activity persists into later childhood and throughout life in only a minority of the world's population, notably northern European-derived populations. These people have the T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the rs49882359 allele (C/...

Milk is a fundamental component of the human diet. Approximately 60% adult population worldwide has lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance occurs due to inability small intestine produce enough enzymes digest lactose. The purpose research study prospects for production lactose-free products.

It is very common for IBS patients to experiment with changes in their diet or limit the intake of certain foods, even before seeking medical attention.

BACKGROUND & AIMS The effects of lactase deficiency on digestive symptoms and diet in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have not been well defined. We assessed lactose absorption and tolerance and the intake of dairy products in healthy volunteers (controls) and patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS (D-IBS). METHODS Sixty patients diagnosed with D-IBS at the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospi...

Summary Dairy products are essential to ensure calcium recommendations achieve optimal peak bone mass and avoid loss. However, high prevalence of lactose malabsorption decreases milk‐derived foods consumption. The use β‐galactosidase, which hydrolyses galactooligosaccharides (GOS) is an alternative develop a low‐lactose yoghurt (EY) where prebiotics probiotics ( Lactobacilli ) coexist. effects ...

BACKGROUND The term orthostatic intolerance is used to describe symptoms of hemodynamic instability such as lightheadedness, fatigue, impaired cognition and syncope that develop on assuming an upright posture. Common forms of orthostatic intolerance in childhood include postural tachycardia syndrome and neurally mediated hypotension. OBJECTIVE A descriptive report of the clinical characterist...
