Drinking milk will cause diarrhea, in fact, it is not only milk allergy, but also this reason

Milk is known as white blood, and drinking milk is good for health. However, milk is not suitable for everyone. Some people have diarrhea after drinking milk, and they dare not drink milk anymore.

Many people have experienced diarrhea after drinking milk. For those who are allergic to milk, diarrhea may occur after drinking milk, and there may be other adverse reactions, such as nausea, eczema, etc. When some parents choose milk powder for their children, they may choose hydrolyzed milk powder to prevent their babies from being allergic to dairy products.

In fact, diarrhea after drinking milk is not entirely due to milk allergy. Some people have lactose intolerance symptoms due to lactase deficiency in their bodies. These people lack lactose in their bodies and cannot break down lactose into lactic acid in time, resulting in lactose intolerance symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain or nausea.

It is actually very simple to distinguish lactose intolerance from milk allergy. Lactose-free milk is milk that breaks down the lactose in milk that is not easily absorbed into galactose and glucose that are easily digested and absorbed by the human body. This solves the symptoms of bloating and diarrhea in people with lactose intolerance after drinking milk, and makes the nutrients in milk easily absorbed by the human body.

If you do not experience diarrhea, nausea, or bloating after drinking lactose-free milk, it means you are lactose intolerant. On the contrary, if you still experience these adverse reactions after drinking lactose-free milk, you are allergic to milk. For babies, you can choose hydrolyzed milk powder.

People who are lactose intolerant do not have to drink only lactose-free milk. People who are lactose intolerant can choose to drink milk in small amounts multiple times or mix milk with water to drink, or they can choose yogurt. Yogurt is also a very good dairy product. After fermentation by lactic acid bacteria, lactose is broken down into lactic acid. People who are lactose intolerant can also drink yogurt without worry.
