Question
Why do infants have symptoms of lactose intolerance?
Answer
Lactose intolerance occurs when individuals lack lactase, the enzyme necessary for proper absorption of lactose. This can result in symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, and nausea after consuming lactose. This condition may be related to genetics, but it can often be treated with preventive methods, such as increasing nutritional supplements, consuming appropriate amounts of vitamins and trace elements, maintaining a balanced diet, and properly matching food combinations. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and maintaining good living habits can help improve the condition.
