  • A new Lactose Intolerance in Multicultural Communities survey sponsored by the LACTAID Brand found that 78 percent of African American women reduce the amount of milk or dairy in their diet as a way to manage their lactose intolerance. Yet 48 percent of African American women who have lactose intolerance worry the condition keeps them from consuming important nutrients such as calcium and vitamins A and D. Despite their concerns, only 16 percent have talked to a health care professional about lactose intolerance. Since up to 80 percent of African Americans may have symptoms of lactose intolerance, there is a need for a greater understanding of how to manage the condition. In fact lactose intolerance is easy to diagnose and easy to manage without forgoing milk and the daily foods African...

  • This new research shows that Lactagen is the first long-term, onetime method that helps the digestive system adapt to digesting dairy. Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, which is found in such foods as milk, cheese and ice cream. The condition results from a shortage of the digestive enzyme lactase, which breaks down the sugar in dairy to ease digestion. If an individual's body does not produce enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose consumed, they will suffer from symptoms of lactose intolerance. According to [Landon], the study provides clinical results that suggest that the Lactagen program acts to promote the growth of indigenous micro flora needed to metabolize lactose so it can be easily absorbed into the digestive system. Further follow-up showed that ...

  • Birthday cake, pizza, milk and cookies - for some kids these aren't always the treats most people think they are. While many kids indulge in these pleasures, some associate these with embarrassment and discomfort. Does your child turns down their favorite dairy delights out of fear of cramps, gas and diarrhea? If ice cream makes your child's stomach scream, they are not alone. Between 30 to 50 million Americans suffer from the pain and angst of lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, the main sugar found in milk and dairy products. Normally this milk sugar is broken down by an enzyme called lactase that's produced in the small intestine. A child with lactose intolerance does not produce enough of the enzyme. This causes the lactose to pass into the l...

  • There's a bacteria called H. pylori that can cause upper abdominal symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain and belching, but your doctors may have already ruled this out based on blood work or upper endoscopy. Lactose intolerance can cause gas and bloating, in which case eliminating dairy from a diet may alleviate symptoms. If no physical explanation is found by bloodwork, endoscopy and dietary changes, you may have functional dyspepsia (nervous stomach) and/or irritable bowel syndrome (spastic colon). Both are disorders in which the root of the bowel problem is not in the stomach or colon, but in the mind. They're classic examples of how much the mind affects the body. We often forget just how much emotional stress affects our health.

  • Did that mug of eggnog make your stomach cramp so bad you thought you'd never be able to stand straight again? Does a bowl of ice cream guarantee an overnight campout in the bathroom? It could be you're lactose intolerant. Simply put, lactose intolerance is the body's inability to absorb lactose -- the predominant sugar in milk -- into the digestive system. When not absorbed properly, lactose ferments in the body and can cause cramps, nausea, bloating, gas and diarrhea. These symptoms usually occur about 30 minutes to two hours after eating or drinking foods that contain lactose.

  • First of all, what is lactose intolerance? Normally, the small intestine produces lactase, an enzyme needed to convert milk sugar (lactose) into a form that the body can use. Lactose intolerance occurs when the small intestine does not produce enough lactase. Therefore, the lactose from milk is undigested and it causes the person to have gas, abdominal pain, bloating and even diarrhea. This is not a health hazard," said Richard J. Grand, a professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, who has studied lactose for about 30 years. "It's made out to be a health problem, but it isn't." Introducing milk in modest amounts over several weeks typically builds the capacity to break down lactose, he said. I can understand putting warnings on alcohol, tobacco and junk food that harm your body...

  • I will never give up bacon, ham hocks, steak and barbecued chicken, but in an effort to be more healthy, humane and environmentally friendly, I'm basing a few meals a week on cage- free eggs or nonmeat proteins. A friend of mine from the United Kingdom recently asked me if I'd tried Quorn, a very popular meat substitute in England and Europe. I had not - I'd read about it, but didn't think it was available here. Until I noticed it at Elbert's, hiding well away from the tofu in the frozen section next to the veggie burgers.
