Intolerante ala lactosa

Lactose intolerance is a condition of the intestinal lining where the body produces little or no lactase enzyme, making it impossible to metabolize lactose (milk sugar). When the body cannot absorb lactose, it results in a clinical reaction because the digestive tract cannot process it properly. This is a natural sensitivity to the sugar found in mammal milk.

Any ordinary person who has this symptom.
