Lactose Intolerance Symptoms In Babies

Share:    

Have you ever heard anything about a widespread health problem known as lactose intolerance

? Meanwhile, this health condition has become the object of great concerns for many people today. It is observed both in adults and kids who are unable to ingest milk and develop allergic reactions as well as other health problems, including vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, flatulence, breaking wind, feeling of sickness etc. These reactions develop in around 30 minutes after the consumption of dairy products and become more severe if a person who has the disease has taken much lactose.

Symptoms of lactose intolerance are often quite frustrating and annoying. That is why it is of paramount importance to spot this disease on time. This will give you a chance to take control over your health condition and prevent the potential complications. Though this condition is not reported to threaten your health, it can substantially affect the quality of your life. The sooner the disease is identified - the easier it is to get adequate treatment, which is specific for each patient.

Symptoms of this disease mainly depend upon the type of the problem you suffer from. The thing is that lactose deficiency is classified into three types, namely permanent intolerance, secondary (reversible) intolerance and the so-called congenital lactase disorder. The first type of the disease is observed when a specific ethnic group or society in general does not eat dairy products at all, in the result of which their kids cannot tolerate them well. The second type of this condition is temporary, which is triggered by lactase enzyme deficiency in a patient's gut. The main symptom of the disease in this case is nausea, which develops after the consumption of milk products. Finally, congenital lactase disorder is a genetic health problem, which is always diagnosed in infancy. Some babies are genetically predisposed to this disease and develop symptoms of it since birth. By the way, studies have shown that gender does not play any role in the development of this health disorder. Age, however, is one of the main factors to be considered here, because the disease may worsen with the lapse of time.

Have you experienced any of the symptoms mentioned above? If so, then you should consult your doctor the sooner-the better. Your physician will certainly recommend you to undergo a series of tests, such as blood sugar lactose tolerance test, hydrogen breath test and stool test. They will help define how serious the problem is and what kind of treatment you currently need. In most cases, though, you will need to stick to a diet for the rest of your life. Thus, the consumption of lactose free products will be a must for you.
