Question

Parents inquire about suitable lactase brands for their children, hoping to boost their immunity.

Answer

Lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of lactase, leading to digestive discomfort, common symptoms including diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal pain. If a child exhibits these symptoms, consider switching to low-lactose or lactose-free formula milk, such as Abbott’s Similac, to reduce the risk of intolerance. Additionally, the “detoxifying” pharmacological effect is not directly related to “laxative” effects; appropriate lactase products should be chosen based on the situation.
