| Individuals deficient in lactase cannot metabolize lactose, a condition called lactose intolerance. |
| In populations where drinking cows' milk is not the done thing, lactose intolerance is still the norm. |
| Of these, how many have been seen by a gastroenterologist before being labelled, and how many have had lactose intolerance excluded? |
| The perception of lactose intolerance as a health problem is a rather narrow Western view. |
| Ice cream, milkshakes and aged cheeses are easier than milk for most people with lactose intolerance, but they are high in fat. |
| Stools of children with lactose intolerance tend to be acidic and contain undigested sugar. |
