Description
Lactose is the sugar found in milk. It is a disaccharide, meaning it is made up of two sugar molecules namely glucose and galactose. The name comes from (lac) which is a Latin word for milk and the suffix (ose) means sugar. In the intestine, lactose is transformed by lactase, an enzyme, into glucose and galactose, both simpler sugars, which are used by our body for energy and various functions. Some of the high-lactose foods include ice cream, soft-serve frozen yogurt, ricotta cheese, protein powders, energy bars, puddings/custards. Although a natural sugar, many people have difficulty in absorbing lactose in the body and become intolerant to it. As a result, they have diarrhea, gas and bloating after eating or drinking dairy products. This is known as lactose intolerance.
