Lactose Intolerance
Types
1. Inherited forms
These are passed on through families:
a. Primary lactase deficiency: this
causes low levels of lactase. Symptoms
can develop at any age but rarely
before the age of 6.
b.Congenital lactase deficiency: this
causes a complete lack of lactase from
birth. Symptoms develop as soon as the
baby is given milk or lactose formula.

> arises when an infection or disease
Lactose Intolerance
Types
3. Developmental lactase
deficiency
> When a baby is born, it takes time for
a
reasonable amount of lactase to build up in
the digestive system. Babies more than
six weeks
premature may be born with
very low levels of
lactase, leading to
temporary lactose
intolerance.
The
condition disappears as the baby gets
older.

NOTE!
Avoiding all dairy products can mean you
don't get enough calcium. Calcium is a
mineral needed for bones to grow normally
and be strong. Lack of it could mean children
don't grow as well as they should, or adults
could have weak bones that break easily.
SO,
make sure to supplement the diet with foods
enriched with calcium and Vit. D if you're on a
lactose free-diet.
