Lactose Intolerance
Lactose is a form of sugar in many milk products. A large number of people suffer from lactose intolerance, meaning that their body cannot digest this substance as usual. This is mainly caused by a lack of lactase enzymes. Common symptoms include diarrhea, gas, bloating, and mild to severe pain in the abdominal area, depending on many factors. To reduce risk, it is better to avoid dairy products, such as cheese and milk. Make sure to read the labels and look for lactose in packaged foods. [5]
