	Lactose Intolerance
		Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the predominant sugar of milk.
		The lactose tolerance and hydrogen breath tests are not given to infants and very young children who are suspected of having lactose intolerance.
		A large lactose load may be dangerous for very young individuals because they are more prone to dehydration that can result from diarrhea caused by the lactose.

	Lactose Intolerance
		Lactose intolerance occurs when the body makes too little of the enzyme lactase, which is needed to break down lactose into two smaller sugars called glucose and galactose.
		Problems digesting lactose can also occur in people with other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as celiac disease, a condition in which the intestine becomes damaged due to the person's abnormal sensitivity to gluten in the diet.
		Lactose intolerance can vary widely between children in terms of how severe it is. But because each case is different, there's no one simple way of dealing with it.

	Lactose Intolerance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the major sugar found in milk.
		Lactose intolerance is caused by a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is produced by the cells that line the small intestine.
		For those who react to very small amounts of lactose or have trouble limiting their intake of foods that contain it, the lactase enzyme is available without a prescription to help people digest foods that contain lactose.

		Lactose is a larger sugar that is made up of two smaller sugars, glucose and galactose.
		Lactose intolerance is caused by reduced or absent activity of lactase that prevents the splitting of lactose (lactase deficiency).
		The common symptoms of lactose intolerance are gastrointestinal, primarily, abdominal pain, diarrhea, flatulence (passing gas), and, less commonly, abdominal bloating, abdominal distention, and nausea.

	Lactose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lactose is a disaccharide that consists of β-D-galactose and β-D-glucose molecules bonded through a β1-4 glycosidic linkage.
		Lactose makes up around 2-8% of the solids in milk.
		To digest it an enzyme called lactase (β1-4 disaccharidase) is secreted by the intestinal villi, and this enzyme cleaves the molecule into its two subunits for absorption.

		Lactose or milk sugar occurs in the milk of mammals - 4-6% in cow's milk and 5-8% in human milk.
		The ingested lactose is not absorbed in the small intestine, but instead is fermented by bacteria in the large intestine, producing uncomfortable volumes of carbon dioxide gas.
		To further identify lactose and maltose, identify the presence of galactose in lactose in the left most structure by the upward -OH on the carbon # 4.

	Lactose intolerance
		If lactose is not absorbed properly, it ferments and this results in abdominal pain, a bloated stomach and diarrhoea.
		Lactose is a disaccharide, which means that it is composed of two other sugars bound together.
		The lactose is fermented by the bacteria in the large intestine and this produces excess gas and stomach rumbling and leads to diarrhoea.

		Lactose is a disaccharide, which means it is composed of two saccharides (sugars) joined together.
		Lactose Intolerance (LI) is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose due to a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is normally produced in the small intestine and its function is to separate the two sugars from each other.
		Lactose is only about one third as sweet as sucrose (normal sugar) and less than half as sweet as glucose.

		A concern, then, for both children and adults with lactose intolerance, is getting enough calcium in a diet that includes little or no milk.
		To help in planning a high-calcium and low-lactose diet, figure 2 lists some common foods that are good sources of dietary calcium and shows about how much lactose the foods contain.
		Recent research shows that yogurt with active cultures may be a good source of calcium for many people with lactose intolerance, even though it is fairly high in lactose.

	eMedicine - Lactose Intolerance : Article by Praveen K Roy, MD
		Background: Lactose intolerance is a common disorder and is due to the inability to digest lactose into its constituents, glucose and galactose, secondary to low levels of lactase enzyme in the brush border of the duodenum.
		Within the large intestine, free lactose is fermented by colonic bacteria to yield short-chain fatty acids and hydrogen gas.
		Lactose intolerance is not lethal and morbidity is low, although osteopenia can be a complication of this disorder.

	chemistry and physics
		Lactose is a disaccharide (2 sugars) made up of glucose and galactose (which are both monosaccharides).
		When lactose is hydrolyzed by ß -D-galactosidase (lactase), an enzyme that splits these monosaccharides, the result is increased sweetness, and depressed freezing point.
		Lactose is relatively insoluble which is a problem in many dairy products, ice cream, sweetened condensed milk.

	Lactose intolerance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lactose intolerance can also occur due to Coeliac disease, as coeliac disease damages the villi in the small intestine that produce lactase.
		This lactose intolerance is temporary, it will cease after the patient has been on a gluten-free diet long enough for the villi to recover.
		Most commonly these are packaged in tablet form allowing a person to tolerate milk products for about 30-45 minutes to up to 2 hours after taking a pill, depending on the individual.
