Lactose is a milk sugar that is a common part of milk and dairy products. It is the main sugar in the milk of all mammals, including humans, and is the main source of sugar in the diet of the young. It is of fundamental importance for brain development, improves the absorption of minerals, including calcium, and stimulates the growth of bifidobacteria in the intestine.

Lactase is an enzyme found in the small intestine whose main job is to break down lactose into simple sugars. If there is a lack of this enzyme in the small intestine, lactose fermentation takes place in the large intestine with the help of bacteria. Reduced absorption of lactose leads to digestive problems such as sour-smelling diarrhea, colic abdominal pain, bloating, overflow of intestinal contents, feeling of fullness in the abdomen, gurgling in the abdomen, increased gas elimination and, in infants, general. failure to thrive, weight loss.
