What’s Lactose Intolerance????

Greetings Moms and Dads!

Do you or your child experience digestive difficulties after drinking cow’s milk or after consuming any similar dairy product?  If so, the likely culprit might be lactose intolerance.  Here’s a bit more info on this topic.

Lactose is a type of sugar found in cow or mammal milk or milk products. For many people problems arise whereby the body is not able to digest lactose which often results in symptoms such as acid reflux, diarrhea, gastritis as well as other abdominal difficulties.  African Americans in particular have a much higher percent of lactose intolerance.

Recent data from the US Dpt. of Agriculture indicates there has been a 30% decrease in overall milk consumption within America since 1975, it’s suggested this decrease is related to concumers questioning whether or not milk is indeed as healthful as initially thought and advertised. As a result, adults are turning to alternative dairy products for greater ease in digestion as well as better overall health.  Here are some healthy milk options to consider if you should choose to.

Almond, Coconut, Flax, Goat’s (goat milk contains much lower sugars than cow’s milk), Hemp, Oat, Rice, and Soy milk.  If protein is a concern Goat’s milk has the highest (10.9g protein), followed by Soy (7g protein), Hemp (2–3 g), and Oat (2.5 g).  I hope you find this helpful.
