Anyone know? And why do so many people have shell fish allergies?

don't know about shellfish,

BUT, i think lactose intolerence comes from

over indulgin in some shiit that should be cut

from one diet a lot sooner than we do, it tends to

NOT PLAY WELL with our chemical changes...

i ues to LOVE milk and icecream,

now i can't fuckwitit...

I can't mess with ice cream or soy milk. cheese in VERY limited doses.

One of my friends and I were talking about this, and he believes that if you grew up in a different climate when you were younger, like in another country, your body goes through changes and the products here are different, thats why it leads to intolerances like becoming lactose intolerant. I actually became lactose intolerant in my late teens and stopped drinking milk everyday like I did for so many years, though it made me lose weight and feel more tired, and switched to soy milk before settling with lactade. I couldn't handle cheesecake and ice cream either at that time though cheese was fine unless I had too much pizza, but over 10 years later and I'm fine with most of these products again, though I don't drink milk alone anymore and add it to tea, preferrably lactade though I can handle carnation again sometimes as well as the other products.

Chemtrails!

the only milk i can drink WITHOUT prollum

is extra fat milk/ whippin cream

i have no prollum with cheese

icecream gives me the 'bends'

so i stick with yogurt

and this stuff called "SILK"

soy milk doesn't sit well with me

and that 'lactaide' stuff was HORRIBLE

(NO i do not like titty milk)

milk with a lot of sugar is sometimes drinkable.

maybe we're not meant to drink milk past infancy?

Or maybe if your ancestry is from a place that does not have access to certain types of food then you are not really designed to process it?

Scientist believe that as babies, we have this special enzyme that enables us to digest the sugars in milk products completely. As we move to adulthood, some of us lose that enzyme and therefor, are lactose intolerant. There are those who believe that we are not supposed to drink milk as adults because of the loss of that enzyme and because we can get the stuff that is found in milk, from certain vegetables.

I used to be really lactose intolerant and had all different kinds of allergies and food sensitivities. Then one day when I was in Whole Foods, a naturopath doing a demonstration about raw fodds and supplements told me I should be taking probiotics every day. I started doing so, and a lot of my allergies and food sensitivities either went away or became more tolerable. But I do think there's something to be said about digestive enzymes, as they become less frequent in the gut as we age over time.

As for the milk thing, some health food expert noted that the milk we drink is perfectly suited for strong growth and body development........for bovine creatures. And technically, we humans shouldn't be drinking milk of any kind past the breastfeeding stage.

I should look into probiotics, surely

silk i drink a lot of that. hey, are you the person who keeps buying the last carton at the store before i get there?????

i read that different people have different 'flora' in their guts. we all have tons of microbacterial lifeforms in there helping us digest. if you take antibiotics this will kill them all. we get our flora from foods, and originally from our mothers. probiotics helps restore the bacterial colonies in your stomach, which can help digestion

Don't know, maybe they're Asian?

Shit, with all the stuff my stomach goes through, I'm betting my flora is Poison Ivy

Because we're old farts.

Bullshitting aside - some groups are just more predisposed to it than others. I think African-Americans are, and myself and my brother are intolerant, so...

The shell fish one, good question, and I have no idea.

i was just gonna say:

because when we drink milk it makes us fart and shit alot

ergo, we are lactose intolerent

Lactose intolerance has to do with the enzyme Lactase, which is produced by the small

intestine. Biologists actually believe that the ability to digest milk into adulthood is do to a mutation

that occured over time. 99.9% of all of the individuals born are born with the enzyme Lactase. Biologists have come to the conclusion that the gene that codes for Lactase is one that has the ability

to switch off or to stay active. For most, outside of the United States, that gene switches off as the

child ages, usually between ages 3-5. For others, the gene switches off later in life. Some never

switch off and the adult continues to be able to digest Lactase.

The evolution of this mutation is really interesting and if I wasn't going to bed I would put

more about it up.

Lactose intolerance is often confused with cow's milk allergies, which have less to do with the

enzyme Lactase and more to do with certain enzymes and components found in cows milk.

There are some individuals whose gene is actually still switched on, but whose small

intestine is actually struggling to produce Lactase for other reasons. These people usually have

no idea this is the case, until they go in and have their small intestine checked, for some reason,

or they take something that counteracts whatever is causing the small intestine to produce

less Lactase than it has the ability to produce.

Easy.
As children, our lack of life experience finds it simple to interpret lactose's crazy antics as harmless & maybe even as humorous to some extent,

& therefore, we put up with it.

But as adults, we begin to realize that life's too short for that kind of bullshit. Therefore, our collective expanded awareness finds it quite easy to define the milky manner of lactose as pretty fuckin' intolerable.
Personally,
I think lactose is a pussy-ass bitch.

More power to you...and I suspect lactose will fare just fine without you.

Mannnn....FUCK lactose!!





Shee-it........

because you are part of the biggest Eat Shit experiment the World has ever devised?

I almost wonder if the intolerance might be related to how the dairy products are processed.

I had trouble with dairy when I was living in the states, but I spent a month in France and didn't have any problems at all and I was eating cheese, cream sauces, eclairs, ice cream, etc all the time. The I left France and came to Italy, now I'm having problems with dairy again.

?? Weird

It is true that lactose intolerance tends to be very common in african-americans and hispanics-wonder why?

there are so many allergies these days than there were years ago

for some reason there has been a large increase with Children and Adults developing allergies to food that in some cases they have consumed their whole entire life.... its really weird!!!

the issue here that is of great concern is what are manufactures / farmers adding to the food we eat and drink that caused this?????

we should start asking more questions about certain things like...

Artificial Flavours

Preservatives

Pesticides

steroids

I believe that these are the main cause of many weird medical concerns that we now face in the modern world

It's also true among most Asians.

I think it's got to do with how many years our human race has existed already (over 200,000 years) and since when we actually started drinking milk and eating diary products. I just don't think our bodies are used to lactose, yet.

I'm lactose intolerant. But, lactose intolerance is a piece of cake compared to being corn intolerant, which I recently found out I am. I catch hell everyday trying to figure out what I'm going to eat. About 95% of processed and packaged foods have corn products in them.

I know but I'm not telling...
