Category: Start / Food Allergies & Intolerances (A&I)
The most common disaccharidase deficiency, reduced or absent lactase activity in the intestinal mucosa, usually due to an inherited defect in the enzyme but sometimes secondary to disorders involving the small intestinal mucosa. The hereditary adult form, an autosomal recessive trait, is the normal state in most populations other than white Northern Europeans and may be characterized by abdominal pain, flatulence, and diarrhea after ingestion of milk (lactose intolerance); the rare hereditary congenital form, an autosomal recessive trait, is characterized by diarrhea, vomiting, and failure to thrive (congenital lactose intolerance).
