You must have seen that few people mostly children complaint about having stomach ache after having milk or other dairy products. This is because they have lactose intolerance Harrison Barnes Youth Jersey , commonly known as milk allergy. Lactose intolerance or milk allergy is the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and to a lesser extent milk-derived dairy products.

All these symptoms can be really embarrassing for a person if they occur in public. So if you have any of the above symptoms then you must avoid dairy products.
Lactose intolerance is caused by these factors:
• Bowel surgery • Infections in the small intestine from viruses or bacteria, which may damage the cells lining the intestine (most often in children) • Intestinal diseases such as celiac disease. • Hereditary. • Due to lack in intake of milk or dairy products.

Lactase enzyme supplement will help you to digest milk or dairy products without causing any problem.
