	Digestive Diseases
		Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, the sugar primarily found in milk and dairy products.
		It is caused by a shortage in the body of lactase, an enzyme produced by the small intestine, which is needed to digest lactose.
		Certain digestive diseases such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease (a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food) and injuries to the small intestine can also reduce the amount of lactase available to process lactose properly.
