Hypolactasia
Lactose intolerance, also known as hypolactasia, has become a huge epidemic over the years. This is a result of a genetically determined decline in the activity of lactase that begins in early childhood. Many people have suffered from this inability to digest lactose, which is found in milk and other dairy products. People who are lactose intolerant only have symptoms occur when they have dairy/milk products. These symptoms include bloating, cramps in the lower abdominal area, stomach growls, gas, diarrhea, and/or vomiting. In article by Leena Seppo, Tuula Tuure, Riitta Korpela, Irma Jarvela, Heli Rasinpera, and Timo Sahi called, “Can primary hypolactasia manifest itself after the age of 20 years?

The age when people can get lactose intolerance differs depending on their ethnic groups. Adult versions of lactose intolerance is exhibited in Asian countries before one turns 8 years; whereas in Israel, the ages are between 3 and 16 years and Greece demonstrates lactose intolerance in its citizens in the ages between 5 and 12 years. The research was conducted based on the people in Finland so it was found that children around the age of 7 have 6 percent likelihood of being lactose intolerant, 13 percent likelihood for the ages of 17 through 25, and for adults there is a 17 percent likelihood. The most common test to diagnose someone with lactose intolerance is the lactose tolerance test, but there is now an easier method that determines the C/T_13910 genotype. Both methods were used …show more content…
The results for the first method are as follows. 27 out of the 42 participants were lactose tolerant and 13 of the participants were inconclusive. Only 2 of the participants were diagnosed as lactose intolerant. 5 participants had less than 1.1 mmol/l in blood glucose, but oppositely their blood galactose was high. 8 participants had less than 0.3 mmol/l in blood galactose, but oppositely their blood glucose was high. For the 10 participants who did the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, there was no sign of low lactase activity in the biopsy sample that was taken. The results for the second method are as follows. 35 participants had their blood drawn for the C/T_13910 genotype determination. 21 participants had the C/T_13910 genotype and 13 participants had the T/T_13910 genotype, which means they are lactose tolerant. Only one participant had the C/C_13910 genotype, which means they are lactose intolerant. This person also was diagnosed with lactose intolerance from the lactose tolerant test with
