Management of Lactose intolerance depends on the level of activity of the lactase enzyme.

Very low level of lactase activity: at very low level of lactase activity all milk products must be eliminated, substitutes of milk like soya milk, ground milk and their preparation could be given. Enzymes such as lactaid and Maxilact are available in the market. Addition of these can digest 90% of lactose in milk and thus minimize the symptoms of lactose intolerance.

Moderate level of Lactase activity: Intake of Milk is restricted depending on the tolerance. Fermented and cooked form of milk should be preferred as it is better tolerated. Fermentation converts a major part of lactose to lactic acid and in cooked products lactose gets bound and the concentration reduces. It is better tolerated in the form of buttermilk, curds, custards, porridge and cottage cheese when mixed with cereals, cocoa etc. These allow gradual lactose breakdown and decrease the symptoms of lactose intolerance. Curds are better tolerated possibly due to microbial culture that facilitates lactose digestion in the intestine.

Lactose Intolerance

Causes: Lactose intolerance relates to insufficiency of disaccharidase enzyme ‘Lactase’ which is found in the greatest quantity in the outer membrane of mucosal cells of the jejunum. Lack of lactase does not break the disaccharide sugar- Lactose present in milk , to glucose and galactose, it passes unchanged into the large intestines where it gets converted to lactic acid by the bacteria, which subsequently cause diarrhoea and other symptoms of discomfort, distension and abdominal pain. The problem is gene related and often seen in infants and young children commonly, but may also be present in adults.

Celiac Disease

Gluten-sensitive enteropathy also called Celiac Disease is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the small intestine. It is precipitated by the ingestion of gluten, a component of wheat protein-gliadin, in genetically susceptible persons. A defect in the enzyme system that splits this protein fraction along with atrophy of jejunal mucosa may be the specific cause for celiac disease. It usually develops within the first three years of life.

Gastritis

Gastritis is an acute inflammatory lesion of gastric mucosa (The inner lining of mucosa)

The Problem can be seen in two forms:

Acute Gastritis: It is a sudden inflammation of the lining of the stomach . It occurs mainly due to overeating, overuse of alcohol, to***co, chronic or excessive dose of aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, increased production of bile acids , trauma, surgery, shock, fever, jaundice, renal failure, burns, radiation therapy, H. Pylori infection etc.

Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, malaise, anorexia, headache, hemorrhage and pain in upper abdomen, dark stools, hiccups, tachycardia, rapid pulse and low blood pressure.. Its complication involves severe blood loss, with blood suddenly flowing into the region known as hyperemia, inflammation and even exudation. In severe cases there may be erosion of localized areas and even bleeding.

Chronic Gastritis: It precedes development of organic gastric lesions, or tissue damage. Recurrent inflammation leads to enzyme activity of gastric mucosal cells. Complete atrophy results in lack of absorption of vitamin B12 (Pernicious anaemia). The chronic gastritis is clinically more important that acute gastritis.

Symptoms: Anorexia, chronic fatigue, and feeling of fullness, belching, vague epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting and passage of black tarry stools.
