Lactose-free milk powder

Nowadays, many children have special gastrointestinal problems and are not fully developed. They may have some minor troubles, especially when drinking milk powder, they may experience bloating, intestinal rumbling, diarrhea and bloating. In fact, there is no need to worry about this situation. Most of them are lactose intolerance. As long as parents choose lactose-free milk powder when buying milk powder for their children, the baby will not have this symptom.

Lactose-free milk powder

Some people are born with a condition in which their bodies do not produce enough of the enzyme that breaks down lactose, a sugar found in milk. Then, the lactose in the milk cannot be digested and broken down, leading to typical digestive system symptoms.

Studies have shown that when children have diarrhea, the small intestinal epithelial cells are damaged, which can also lead to temporary lactase deficiency. When children drink milk powder during diarrhea, their diarrhea recovery will not be ideal. Therefore, when a child has diarrhea, you can switch to lactose-free milk powder, which can greatly shorten the course of diarrhea.

Lactose is a monosaccharide and is the most expensive of all sugars. The presence of more lactose does not mean that the milk powder is good, because with regard to the physical constitution of Chinese people, about one-third are lactose intolerant. Eating milk powder with more lactose can easily cause diarrhea, but it does not affect the absorption of other nutrients.

In terms of taste, lactose is not sweet, while polysaccharides, such as the most common sucrose, are relatively sweet. Some brands claim that their milk powder does not contain sucrose, so it is less likely to cause tooth decay. In fact, not to mention that babies haven't grown teeth yet, even if they have grown teeth, if they don't pay attention to oral hygiene, they will get cavities regardless of whether they eat lactose or polysaccharides. In fact, the ideal milk powder should contain both lactose and polysaccharides. First, it tastes good, second, it controls costs, third, it provides enough calories for the baby, and fourth, it is not easy to cause diarrhea.
