The product Lactaid is an enzyme supplement used in people who have difficulty digesting milk and other dairy products (people who are lactose intolerant).
1. What does Lactaid do?
Lactose is a type of sugar found in milk and dairy products. The enzyme lactase is normally produced by the body to help break down (digest) the sugar lactose. Lactose intolerance occurs when the body produces low amounts of the enzyme lactase.
Lactose intolerance can start at different ages. Newborns are usually unaffected, but lactose intolerance can affect children as young as 2 years old. This condition is very common in adults.
One way to treat lactose intolerance is to avoid dairy products. However, this can lead to a lack of important nutrients and vitamins like calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin, and protein. Some people use lactose-free milk or milk substitutes like soy or rice milk.
Most people with low lactase levels can still tolerate small amounts of dairy products at a time (2-4 ounces) and only experience symptoms when eating larger portions (6 ounces or more). Taking lactase enzyme with dairy products as directed can help prevent stomach upset, bloating, and diarrhea caused by these products.
Lactaid is indicated in the following cases:
The body is not able to process lactose or milk sugar. Lactaid indigestion is contraindicated in the following cases:
A type of joint disorder caused by excess uric acid in the blood called gout.
