“Allergic” reaction caused by milk

Milk contains lactose, and two-thirds of the world's population cannot absorb lactose. Among Asian yellow people, 70% cannot absorb lactose. We are yellow people. Some people drink milk, but don't absorb much of it. Caucasians absorb the most milk.

Common symptoms of milk-induced allergic reaction (milk allergy) include: difficulty breathing, skin allergic reaction, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. The following dietary changes are recommended:

①Use goat milk instead;

②Change the form of milk, use yogurt, condensed milk, milk powder, etc.;

③ Remove milk or dairy products from the diet and replace them with formula (such as milk powder, rice paste, etc.) in which the protein is obtained from meat or soy.

Lactose intolerance: Some people have trouble digesting the lactose in milk. This is due to the reduction or lack of lactase in these people's bodies, resulting in lactose malabsorption. The disease has its own unique clinical symptoms (such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal distension), which are divided into three types:

① Congenital lactose intolerance: lack of lactase at birth;

② Secondary lactose intolerance: damage to the outer cell layer of the small intestinal mucosa caused by viruses, bacteria, and allergens, which restricts lactase inside and prevents it from coming out;

③Primary lactase intolerance: caused by a significant decrease in lactase activity.
