Lactose intolerance and symptoms

Lactose intolerance means that the body has difficulty breaking down lactose, which is the milk sugar found in many dairy products. When a person is deficient or has none of the enzyme lactasewhich normally breaks down lactose in the small intestine, the lactose cannot be absorbed properly. Instead, it it passes to the large intestine, where bacteria break down the lactose, which can cause gas and other symptoms.

Lactose intolerance is common and affects many people worldwide. In Sweden, about 10% of adults are affected. In many of us, the ability to form lactase decreases as we get older. Fortunately, lactose intolerance is harmless, and symptoms usually disappear when lactose is removed from the diet.to form lactase often declines in adulthood.

Lactose intolerance is harmless and symptoms decrease as lactose is removed from the diet.

Lactose intolerance occurs when the body does not produce enough of the enzyme lactasewhich is needed to break down and absorb lactose (milk sugar) from food. When lactase deficiency occurs, the lactose cannot be broken down properly in the small intestine, which can cause stomach upset and symptoms such as gas and bloating.

  • gas
  • Bubbling stomach
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
  • Stomach pain
  • Bloated stomach

The body's ability to produce enough lactase in adulthood varies between different population groups around the world. Many people originating from Northern Europe continue to produce lactase throughout their lives and therefore tolerate lactose. This is because we have adapted after many generations of dairy products in our diet.

In many parts of the world, people do not usually eat products containing lactose. Therefore, being able to break down lactose after giving up breast milk has not been important for survival. Those with genetic origins outside Northern Europe are more likely to have a reduced ability to break down lactose over the years due to a decrease in the amount of lactasedecreases.

There are three main types of lactose intolerance:

  • Primary, congenital lactose intolerance: This very rare and hereditary form means that symptoms of lactose intolerance are apparent from birth, often when the baby is breastfed or given formula.
  • Primary lactose intolerance: This is the most common form and is due to a gradual decrease in lactase activity in the body. It often starts in adolescence and can progress over time.
  • Secondary lactose intolerance: This form is caused by other diseases of the gut, such as inflammation (as in celiac disease), intestinal infections or bacterial overgrowth. Secondary lactose intolerance usually resolves when the underlying disease is treated or healed.

 

Regardless of the type, lactose intolerance can affect digestion, but the symptoms and causes vary. 

In lactose intolerance, the body lacks the enzyme lactase, which is needed to break down milk sugar.
About 15% of the Swedish population suffers from some kind of food sensitivity. It can be an allergy, intolerance or a hypersensitivity reaction.

Diagnosis is made by:

  • Exclusion of milk and milk products for at least 4 weeks.
  • Genetic testing.
  • Lactose load via blood or breath test.

If you think you are lactose intolerant, you can first observe if you get symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhea or stomach pain after eating dairy products. If you exclude lactose from your diet for a period of time and the symptoms disappear, this may indicate that you are lactose intolerant. For a proper diagnosis and dietary advice, you should consult a doctor or dietician who can provide professional guidance.

Try and find out how much of different dairy products you can eat without discomfort. Lactose intolerance is common and it is not harmful to your body to ingest lactose. It is often possible to eat some common milk products that contain small amounts of small amounts of milk sugar without any problems. Sometimes sensitivity decreases as we get older.

If you are lactose intolerant, you can try eating the following products, which contain very little lactose little lactose:

  • Matured hard cheese
  • Butter and table margarine containing butterfat
  • Yogurt, crème fraîche and whipped cream

There are also many lactose-free options on the market, as well as products based on oats and soy.

About LaktasDuo

About LactaseDuo ®

LactaseDuo® is a medical device capsule that helps with stomach problems caused by lactose intolerance and gas formation. The capsule has two active ingredients: dimethicone and lactase enzyme. Dimethicone reduces gas by preventing foaming and facilitating the movement of gas in the gut. Lactase enzyme breaks down lactose in food and drink, making it easier for the body to absorb nutrients without causing discomfort.

LactaseDuocontains lactase enzyme, which breaks down lactose in the small intestine so that the body can absorb the nutrients from the lactose. If there is not enough lactase enzyme, the lactose reaches the large intestine where intestinal bacteria break it down and create gas, leading to abdominal cramps, diarrhea and bloating. Dimethiconewhich is also part of the LactaseDuo®, lowers the surface tension of the gas bubbles in the gut and prevents foaming. This increases gas mobility and reduces gas formation and bloating. When taking LactaseDuo® with lactose-containing meals, symptoms can often disappear.

LactaseDuo® should be taken with a lactose-containing meal. The capsule is swallowed whole with a glass of water, or the contents can be mixed with chilled food if you prefer. If you continue to eat lactose-containing foods for more than 20 minutes, you should take an extra capsule to maintain the effect.

There are many lactase enzyme preparations available in pharmacies, such as liquids, tablets and capsules, which also contain the lactase enzyme that the body lacks in lactose intolerance. But unlike these products, the LactaseDuo® has a unique combination effect where both the lactase enzyme and dimethicone work together to relieve gas symptoms and improve lactose breakdown.

LactaseDuo® is a unique, dual-action capsule that helps you manage lactose intolerance and gas symptoms effectively. It contains lactase enzyme, which breaks down the lactose in food and improves digestion, and dimethiconewhich relieves gas by reducing bloating and discomfort. With well-studied and safe ingredients LactaseDuo® is a safe and convenient choice for those who want to enjoy lactose-containing foods without discomfort.

To get the best effect, you should LactaseDuo® should be taken immediately before or when consuming lactose-containing food or drink, preferably before unpleasant symptoms occur. If the meal contains several lactose-containing dishes, it is recommended to take an extra tablet before the next dish to ensure continued effect.

Use and Dosage

Lack of lactase enzyme, which is needed to break down lactose in the food and drinks we ingest.

LactaseDuo® can be used both to reduce gas and bloating and to help the body break down lactose in the diet. Dosage varies depending on age and area of use:

For gas and bloating

  • Adults & children over 11 years: 1 capsule 2-5 times daily (max 5 capsules/day).
  • Children 6-11 years: 1 capsule up to 3 times daily (maximum 3 capsules/day).


To break down lactose

  • Adults & children over 11 years: 1 capsule with lactose-containing food (maximum 5 capsules/day).
  • Children 6-11 years: 1 capsule with lactose-containing food (max 3 capsules/day).


If the meal lasts more than 20 minutes, an extra capsule is recommended to maintain the the effect.

Lactose intolerance is a common digestive disorder caused by a lack of lactase enzyme and leads to stomach problems such as gas, abdominal pain and diarrhea after eating or drinking lactose-rich foods. Many people suffering from lactose intolerance can manage their symptoms by avoiding lactose or by using lactase enzyme supplements such as LactaseDuo®. If you suspect you have lactose intolerance, you should consult a doctor to get the right diagnosis and dietary advice.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using LactaseDuo®.

30 capsules.

Safety and Warnings

LactaseDuo® contains two active ingredients and three excipients:

  • Lactase enzyme 5000 FCC: breaks down lactose into smaller parts that are more easily absorbed in the small intestine, reducing stomach upset.
  • Dimethicone 100 mg: Reduces gas formation by lowering the surface tension of air bubbles in the gut and facilitating gas movement, reducing bloating and discomfort.

The other ingredients are the excipients silica, dicalcium phosphate and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The product is vegan and free from lactose, gluten and soy.
