I'm a GI nurse; when we have a patient who is suspected of being lactose intolerant or having lactose malabsorption - someone having abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, bloating from gas, poor weight gain in younger kids - we can actually take a small piece of tissue called a biopsy from the 2nd part of the duodenum and test it for a lack of dissacaridase(s).

This was a great breakdown of lactose intolerance. I was born without the ability to process lactose, including breast milk. I vomited up most of what I was fed. The doctor ended up putting me on soy (not too common in the early 1970s). As a kid I did eat ice cream, cheese, and have milk with my cereal, but had the symptoms you describe. We had to limit what and when I could consume dairy. As an adult I even tried Lact-Aid, but after a short time of being on it, I had the same symptoms as with regular dairy. These days I manage my symptoms pretty well, while still having the occasional dairy treat (home made ice cream!) and natural cheese doesn't usually bother me. One other problem I have with dairy is that sometimes it can make me pass out. I haven't heard of anyone else with this issue. As a kid it could either make me hyper, or sleepy; now as an adult I can't risk driving after having dairy as I almost had a wreck on the highway because I felt drugged. Any insight on this would be most welcome.

It had never occurred to us that lactose was the problem since for the first 30ish years of his life he consumed it with no problems. We initially thought the doctor was barking up the wrong tree when he suggested eliminating lactose for a while as an experiment, but we did it anyway. Yeah, we realised within just a few days to a week that we were wrong and it definitely was lactose intolerance. On the plus side, things are much better now with a combination of using lactose free alternatives, lactase pills and sometimes he just goes without.

Man i am from India i think most of us are very lucky . Because we are vegetarian and if we are also lactose intolerance we are done for . 😂😂

[@tstarr8314]

This makes so much sense. As a kid I didn't have any issues with dairy, but we also had fresh milk with the cream on top. My symptoms started when we had to start buying store milk. I can have some dairy but not all and I think part of it is how it's processed. I can't drink full cream milk but can have full cream ice cream. I can have one brand of yoghurt but not another. Absolutely no soft cheeses. I tried A2 milk (meant to be good for lactose intolerance) and still had symptoms. I just keep my dairy intake to a minimum and keep away from milk.

[@jeffreysmith236]

Fresh milk contains the enzyme necessary for digestion, pasteurization destroys that enzyme, government causes the problem AGAIN.

[@PinkStormy]

I have the same issue. I can have soft cheeses but not regular milk. I can have plain Greek yogurt but not ice cream. It’s so weird how that works.

[@alastairhewitt380]

I wonder if different lactose molecules have different geometric structures and if that is why some people have the ability to breakdown some forms of lactose and not others

[@aleenaprasannan2146]

A2 milk not causing lactose intolerance is probably a myth. Almost all commercially packaged milk in India is A2 and guess which country has a huge percentage of population with lactose intolerance?

The human body being intolerant to the milk of a different species is actually a perfectly natural response, when you think about it! What's not perfectly natural is what the Dairy industry does to the cows and their babies.

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

The human body is not intolerant to dairy

[@jg5755]

Have you ever visited a dairy farm and asked why calves are separated from their mothers? It's for the health and safety of the calf. Dairy calves are born with very few fat reserves which are quickly used up in cold weather, especially if it is also wet as it often is in spring and autumn. Calves can get scours very easily out on pasture with access to endless milk (seeing as dairy cows produce enough to feed 4 calves) which leads to dehydration and death very quickly. Out in a field that would be impossible to monitor so more calves would die. Cows can bully calves, cows in heat can attempt to mount calves and severely injure if not kill them, calves can spread disease by sucking on multiple cows. It's for the good health of the whole herd. I keep a few cows that I also milk for my own supply of delicious milk. Even I separate calves soon after birth because I've experienced the bullying of a calf and I've also had a calf rip it's mother's teats to shreds. I also appreciate having access to veal from bobby calves because it's one of the very few things that doesn't upset my rescue cats stomach.

I'm almost 70 years old and I have always been able to consume a lot of dairy. I don't know if my ancestors domesticated cattle? Nor were they from Northern Europe that I know of. I don't think of England and Ireland as Northern Europe. But I am lucky to be able to enjoy all kinds of dairy products. The older I get, the more people I know who are lactose intolerant. And gluten intolerant.

[@kotsaris87]

Your lactose persistence is because of genetics, not because of your ancestor's profession. People who are caucasian and/or middle eastern have a higher prevalence of lactose persistence. If this is your ancestry, this would explain it

[@1Clearwords]

I'm grateful for my lactase persistance; I consume a lot of dairy products and can't imagine going a couple of days without them.

[@videoinformer]

You didn't mention lactose-free milk, which has been treated with lactase, or the availability of lactase capsules that can be taken with dairy. You also didn't mention health benefits of dairy that might warrant working around the lactose-intolerance problem. Also, short-chain fatty acids such as butyric acid are a beneficial product of bacteria that digest resistant starches and lactose in the large intestine.

I was having that issue w eggs also, for the last 1 1/2 yrs I did ketovore and my gut is able to handle eggs now. No on most dairy and im fine w that. I even had a blood test on food allergies and intolerance, egg protein came up as well as dairy, sensitivity to gluten which I think a lot of people are..I feel it's mainly due to the pesticides and other chemicals they use on the fields. Now I'm not positive ketovore fixed something in my gut so I can have eggs now or if it's something to do with the lack of veggies I eat..I eat veggies yet sparingly.

I'm about to be 29 and I became lactose intolerant around age 13. It was weird because I was having the same amounts of dairy as usual but just suddenly one day my body decided "nope" and thus I became lactose intolerant. Fortunately, there exists Lactaid pills, which I take with any dairy I consume, as dairy is practically half my diet 😂 probably not healthy but it is what it is.

Love the video as always. My wife tends to break out with facial acne when she consumes dairy. Is this a form of intolerance? Or some other hormone issue?

[@jennifernabrahamable]

I have the same problem. After reading a few articles on it, I learned that the hormones in dairy can affect your bodily hormones. Acne (especially around the jaw/chin area) is a symptom of a hormonal imbalance. Because of this, I really try to limit my dairy consumption.

[@ABCstockholm007]

Its very weird, a long time I was fine with milk products and then after some different stomach/colon infections (viruses/bacteria etc) I started to not be able to tollerate as much food as before.

[@puidemare2337]

It's never that easy. Did they talk about raw dairy vs.pasteurized diary? Once diary is pasteurized it becomes a completely different entity. It's not even milk anymore. Everything that is nutritious is destroyed when pasteurized. As a matter of fact, once pasteurized it actually becomes highly toxic and indigestible. That's why so many people cannot digest lactose now because it's not even a food anymore once pasteurized. All this can be looked up and proven. Don't be so quick to believe everything you hear or read. Do your own deep research. Ask questions.

[@Leo-qm1wv]

If you have milk allergy or dairy/lactose intolerance, just skip the dairy and try dairy alternatives! They have far more different options and are way safer and more beneficial in general! They are also super delicious and easier in the body if you choose the right ones for you. For a very gut sensitive person like me, it’s a lot easier than consuming dairy and then taking pills/ consuming lactose free dairy. Any type of dairy literally makes my knees fail me, send me straight to bed and everything. Like my doctor has been telling me: we are not baby cows and we should not believe those dairy campaign ads!

Before school my chore was to milk the family cow. A few mouthfuls of warm milk from the teat would hold me over until breakfast of cornflakes or oats with milk and sugar. The cow filled a 10 quart bucket. Twice a day. We drank a lot of milk. Whole, raw milk. Gravy, custard, puddings, eggnog. We loved on eggs and milk. Ate some chickens. Butchered our meat. Grew vegetables. Over 50 years later that’s what I eat. Though today it’s low fat milk, frozen veggies, packaged meat. I’m a native of Ohio.

Possibly the most overlooked underlying problem here is still milk allergy. Not lactose intolerance. Question, if the sugars that aren't digestible in the small intestine, but are digestible by the bacteria in the large intestine are the problem, why don't we have the same problem with sucralose?

Humans: the only species to drink milk from another species while simultaneously doing it past infancy. Also humans: why am I lactose intolerant?

[@Joe_C.]

Not for nuthin... But if other animals had the ability to milk other animals, or if other animals would allow different species to suckle on their teats, then it may be a different story

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

As shown by the video, not all humans. Europeans, Asians, Africans, every culture that has cows (and other milking animals) available, have developed lasting lactose tolerance. Evolution. With your logic, everything humans do with their food that other species don't do should sicken us all: cooking, preserving, drying, smoking, fermenting, distilling, etc. Of course, ultra-processing does sicken us all, but in comparison to any animal, making tamales, tofu or olive oil is ultra processing.

[@Harley_Girl68]

You obviously have never seen a cat in a milking barn. There are lots of animals that will drink milk if or when they can get access to it. Only difference is they can’t get to the store or grab it out of the fridge like a human can.

I was surprised to not even hear a mention of lactase pills/tablets. It is a solution that works for a lot of people. There are even icecream shops that sell individual lactase tablets, allowing you to enjoy a dessert worryfree with just a 25 cent tablet! There are also lactosefree milch and dairy products. They simply add lactase to the milk for you. I am really suprised this was not even mentioned given the depth of information and other potential solutions like replacing gut microbes with the non-gassy type.

Even better would be not consuming cow's milk at all, but that can be difficult since it is sadly it is forced into vast majority of products.
