How can I tell if I tolerate lactose?

Around us, there is such a group of people who are not able to drink milk, if they drink milk, they will have diarrhea, this situation is also called "lactose intolerance" in medicine, many people may not hear much of this word, and they don't understand, even if they have lactose intolerance, they are not clear, so how to check lactose intolerance? In response to this problem, let's take a look at the introduction of the article.

First of all, if you want to check your lactose tolerance, you can do a urine galactose test, and after drinking milk, the urine can detect the body's breakdown of lactose, so as to determine whether it is lactose tolerant. Of course, intestinal mycosis testing can also determine lactose tolerance.

Secondly, you can also do ultrasound examination of intestinal diseases, which can check out intestinal diseases, and through this examination, you can clearly see the hierarchical structure in the intestine and see the degree of lesions infringing on the gastrointestinal wall. And improve the reliable basis for the clinical ** of the disease.

Finally, generally speaking, babies aged 0-6 months are more likely to have lactose intolerance, mainly because the baby's intestinal development is not mature enough to completely decompose the lactose in breast milk or milk, so the baby is more prone to non-infectious diarrhea in this situation, so lactose intolerance needs to choose low-lactose dairy products, such as yogurt, cheese, etc.

Lactose intolerance can be detected by urine galactose test, lactose tolerance test, fecal reducing sugar and pH measurement, and exhaled hydrogen test.

1.Urine galactose test: After the human body ingests lactose, it will go through urine metabolism, and urine galactose test can detect the level of lactose in the urine and determine the digestion of lactose.

2.Lactose tolerance test: First, the patient should check the fasting blood glucose level, and then take lactose orally according to the doctor's instructions, and check the blood glucose value at 0h, 1h, and 2h after taking it.

3.Stool reducing sugar and pH measurement: Lactose intolerant patients are unable to break down lactose, which will cause lactose to be excreted in the stool, making the stool acidic.

This test method can determine the breakdown of lactose, and if the pH of the stool is less than that, it can generally be judged to be lactose intolerance.

4.Breath hydrogen test: Lactose intolerant patients are unable to break down lactose, so intestinal bacteria will break it down and produce hydrogen. Patients should first take lactose orally under the guidance of a doctor, and then measure the hydrogen content during exhalation, which can determine whether they have the disease.

If you feel very uncomfortable in your stomach after two sips of milk, it means that your lactose tolerance is very poor, and if this is the case, I would not recommend you to eat dairy products.

If you drink milk on an empty stomach and have stomach bloating, diarrhea, and stomach pain, it is a lactose intolerance phenomenon, and you can also go to the hospital for a urine test, which is the most common and authoritative method.

Respiration, excretion, abdominal swelling, gastrointestinal reactions, metabolism of the body.

If you drink a large glass of milk and your body doesn't react, it means that your lactose tolerance level is not bad, if you start to feel uncomfortable after just one or two sips of milk, it means that you are lactose intolerant, and you should drink less of this kind of thing.

If every time you drink milk, you will have bloating, diarrhea, intestinal discomfort, this is lactose intolerance! Lactase is a genetically determined enzyme, and the lack of this enzyme can cause lactose intolerance.

Adults will experience significant gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking milk. You can judge your lactose tolerance by symptoms such as abdominal distention, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and hyperintestinal sounds.

In fact, you can go to the hospital for a special examination, and you can also judge it according to what you eat.

The best way to know if you are lactose intolerant is to go to the hospital to test for galactose urina and clarify the cause to better find the right dairy products for you.

Another way to identify is to try to drink dairy products containing A2 casein, if the symptoms of indigestion are alleviated, it means that it is not because of lactose intolerance, such people can drink milk, but we must pay attention to choose milk containing A2 casein.

Lactose intolerance: Whenever you drink milk, your stomach will rumble, and in severe cases, you will have unbearable pain and diarrhea. If all of these symptoms are met, then it is necessary to pay attention to the possibility of lactose intolerance.

The method of determining that infants are lactose intolerant is as follows:

1. It can be judged from the symptoms of the child's body, when the child shows diarrhea, crying and vomiting after eating breast milk or milk, it may be lactose intolerance.

2. You can go to the hospital to confirm the diagnosis through standardized examinations, such as stool routine examination, urine lactase test and hydrogen breath test.

Infant intolerance to lactose is mainly due to lactase deficiency, which leads to the inability of lactose to be completely decomposed and digested. If your baby is lactose intolerant, you can also give your baby lactose-free or low-lactose formula, cereal or wheat foods to meet your child's needs for nutrients during development.

1. When to consider lactose intolerance.

The main thing is diarrhea, sometimes loose stools after eating, which does not last and does not relieve, and the use of antidiarrheal drugs such as probiotics is ineffective.

2. How to judge lactose intolerance.

First of all, it is recommended to test the baby's stool to rule out lactose intolerance. Children with lactose intolerance are mainly diarrhea, which may be accompanied by easy crying, vomiting, occasional intestinal colic and other manifestations; Negative stool tests, positive reducing sugars, and low pH indicate lactose intolerance; It is effective for lactose-free formula**, and diarrhea occurs after switching to regular formula milk or breastfeeding.

If this is true, it is confirmed that the child is lactose intolerant.

3. Symptoms of lactose intolerance.

Diarrhea occurs several times a day to more than 10 times, and most children have a lot of intestinal gas, often bringing out a small amount of feces on diapers. The stool is mostly yellow or blue-green loose stool, or like egg drop soup, foamy, with milk lumps, and a few children have milk return or vomiting.

The child will also be accompanied by abdominal distension and varying degrees of restlessness, easy crying, defecation or diarrhea after **.

Colic is rare and often occurs during the course of the disease, but can precede diarrhea. In severe cases, dehydration, acidosis, and growth retardation may occur, and most of them do not have fever.

Fourth, how to ** lactose intolerance.

If the frequency of stool is low and does not affect growth and development, no special ** is required. If diarrhea is frequent, lactose-free formula (including cow's milk-based or soy-based lactose-free formula) can be used first, and then gradually increase the frequency of breastfeeding according to the child's tolerance, and switch to a combination of breast milk and lactose-free formula.

Clinical symptoms: For example, in the case of taking ordinary milk powder, it may be accompanied by obvious nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, abnormal sour taste in the stool, and the baby has frequent intestinal colic, at this time, it is necessary to consider that there may be lactose intolerance;

Lactose intolerance is a condition in which the baby produces less lactase and is unable to fully digest the lactose in breast milk or cow's milk, resulting in diarrhea, also known as lactase deficiency.

1. Smell: sour stool, sour mouth.

2. Listen: stomach ringing, bowel sounds, and fart.

3. Look: diarrhea, bloating, vomiting, separation of water and stool in the stool, and milk flaps.
