Lactose intolerance is a digestive condition where your body struggles to break down lactose, the natural sugar found in milk and dairy products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This happens when your small intestine doesn\u2019t make enough lactase. It is an enzyme required to digest lactose. Without lactase, lactose moves into your colon undigested, where gut bacteria ferment it, producing gas, bloating, and discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-58387\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Image-1-45-400x242.jpg\" alt=\"difference between lactose tolerant and lactose intolerance\" width=\"736\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Image-1-45-400x242.jpg 400w, https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Image-1-45-768x464.jpg 768w, https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Image-1-45.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that, about 65% of the global population has some reduced ability to digest lactose after childhood as per National Institute of Health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms_of_Lactose_Intolerance\"><\/span><b>Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symptoms of lactose intolerance may be confused with other conditions until you recognise them.
