Were you looking for information about Lactose Intolerance? Lactose intolerence is a common misspelling of lactose intolerance.
Lactose intolerance occurs when a person is unable to digest lactose, the major sugar found in milk. People sometimes confuse lactose intolerance with cow's milk intolerance because the symptoms are often the same. However, lactose intolerance and cow's milk intolerance are not related. Being intolerant to cow's milk is an allergic reaction triggered by the immune system; lactose intolerance is a problem caused by the digestive system. Common symptoms of lactose intolerance include cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
