Do you have diarrhea when you drink milk, can you still touch milk products?

"I used to drink milk without any problem. Now I am older. I have diarrhea when I drink milk. I dare not drink milk." Ms. Zhang, 56, has always had the habit of drinking milk. She admits that since she found her lactose intolerance If you want to drink milk, you can only take a little bit of addiction, but it is inevitable whether drinking milk will affect your health if you still drink milk when lactose intolerance.

A glass of milk a day is the standard for a healthy diet. But in daily life, there are not a few people who have the same worry as Ms. Zhang. The "2021 China Milk Business Index Report" shows that about 190 million people claim to have symptoms of lactose intolerance. Is lactose intolerance equal to not drinking milk? Zhou Tong, director of the Nutrition Department of Nanjing BenQ Hospital, said in an interview with reporters that the so -called lactose is not resistant to the lactase in the body, which can not be timely digested in lactose in milk in time to ferment and cause gas , But lactose intolerance is not equal to insulation with dairy products.

The reporter learned that lactose tolerance or intolerance is not inherently inherently, and it is unchanged. Ms. Zhang described above is a typical example. Director Zhou Tong explained that the growth of age, physiological changes in physical state, and weakened immunity will reduce the physiological physiology of lactic enzyme activity, which will increase the chance of lactose intolerance. The elderly want to drink milk, the first choice is middle -aged and old milk powder.

Maybe many people will say that since lactose is impatient, does it solve the problem without drinking? "Chinese Resident Diet Guidelines" recommend that adults need to consume 800mg of calcium per day, while 100g of milk content is 104mg, which means that drinking 300g of milk a day can meet the half of the calcium amount required for adults a day. Drinking milk is a way for calcium supplementation. "Some people think that eating some green vegetables can also supplement calcium, but in fact, the effect is minimal, because not only is it difficult to achieve, there are substances such as oxalic acid among vegetables, which greatly reduces the absorption of calcium in the human body."

Zhou Tong suggested that people who are not tolerant of lactose can use Shuhua milk or yogurt, cheese, etc. instead of ordinary milk (but pay attention to low sugar and low sodium), and can also control the amount of milk Symptoms. "At the same time, be careful not to drink milk on an empty stomach. Eat some foods before and after drinking to help extend digestion time."

However, in addition to lactose intolerance, milk protein allergies are more noteworthy. Zhou Tong told reporters that milk protein allergies are the immune system that mistakenly treats milk protein as foreign substances, which will cause confrontation and cause allergic reactions. It is a problem of immune response. "It often occurs on newborns. Symptoms are usually reflected in digestive tract, skin, respiratory tract and other parts, such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, eczema rash, cough and asthma. Parents must pay attention to their children's body. Children seek medical treatment. "(Editor Li Chuang)
