Lactose intolerance is the inability to produce enough lactase to digest the diasacchride lactose
Lactose can be found in milk or any diary products. It can be hydrolysed by the enzyme lactase.
Babies have a large amount of lactase as milk is their main diet. However the amount of lactase reduces as less milk consumed
In some people the reduction in lactase is so great that they produce very little or no lactase. As a result these peop;e are unable to digest the lactose they consume but however they can they van take either lactase tablets or add lactose droplets or consume lactose free products.
