Lactose intolerance

More and more people to whom they feel bad milk. One reason for this is lactose intolerance, now very common disease among the population.
Lactose, commonly known as milk sugar, is formed by the union of one molecule of glucose and galactose. It is also in milk, in all its derivatives and in many prepared foods such as meats, breads, purees, soups, etc.. and even many medicines.

For the body to absorb lactose, the structure must be broken, so to separate the glucose and galactose. This action is performed by the enzyme lactase. Lactose intolerance occurs when there is not enough lactase enzyme in the intestine. So you can not digest lactose, producing a series of symptoms, among which are pain, bloating, diarrhea, nausea and gas.

There are varying degrees of lactose intolerance and hence, to milk and its derivatives, so that this problem affects differently those who suffer. This means there will be people who can take a certain amount of lactose without experiencing symptoms and others do not tolerate under any circumstances.

The only possible cure for these people, is the elimination of dietary products containing lactose. But the lack of milk in the diet as a staple food and essential for their complete daily nutritional composition, can cause a lack of Calcium, Vitamin D, vitamin B2 and protein. It is therefore essential to eat other foods rich in these substances and the recommended daily dose of vitamin A, C, phosphorous, magnesium and potassium, which helps calcium absorption.
