Were you looking for information about Lactose Intolerance? Lactosse intollerance is a common misspelling of lactose intolerance.
Lactose intolerance is a condition that results from a lactase deficiency. Lactase is an enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine and is necessary to digest lactose, the natural sugar found in milk. Within 30 minutes to 2 hours after ingesting lactose, abdominal cramping and diarrhea often occur in a person with lactase deficiency. These symptoms are essential to a diagnosis of lactose intolerance.
