Lactose intolerance: symptoms, diagnosis...

DR TIM CROWE
About this episode

Lactose intolerance is the most common food intolerance in the world. Rare in infants because they can easily digest lactose in breastmilk, its incidence skyrockets with age. And your genetic ethnic background is the key predictor of your risk of developing it. In this podcast, I’ll look at the causes, signs and symptoms of lactose intolerance and then go on to explain how it is diagnosed and importantly how it can be managed. And the good news is that rarely does that mean the exclusion of dairy products.
