Lactose intolerance in furry children drinking cow's milk
Is it an allergic reaction?
First of all, we need to know what the difference between milk allergy and lactose intolerance is, so that we can know the difference between the two. Lactose intolerance is a problem with the digestive systemIf there is a lack of probiotics (usually bifidobacteria) that metabolize lactose in the intestines, the unbroken lactose will be catabolized into lactic acid by other bacteria in the intestines, thereby destroying the alkaline environment of the intestines and secreting a large amount of alkaline digestive juice to neutralize lactic acid, so it is easy to have mild diarrhea symptoms. Bifidobacteria can promote the secretion of lactase in the intestines, helping to break down lactose into simple sugars, namely glucose and galactose, which are absorbed by the body and produce energy, reducing the burden on the intestines, thereby relieving symptoms such as diarrhea and bloating. At the same time, Bifidobacteria can also improve the intestinal microecological environment, enhance intestinal immunity, prevent and alleviate intestinal problems such as constipation and diarrhea.
Milk allergy is a problem with the immune systemThe immune system attacks the cow's milk protein as a bad guy, producing specific IgE antibodies that bind to mast cells and release histamine and other inflammatory substances, eventually leading to an inflammatory reaction, also known as an allergic reaction. So how can you tell the difference? In the case of lactose intolerance, symptoms may be relieved if you switch to goat's milk, and symptoms should disappear if you switch to lactose-free milk. However, if it is an allergic reaction, whether it is cow's or goat's milk, or milk without lactose, clinical symptoms will occur. So to sum it up:Lactose intolerance: digestive system, milk lactose, lactase, supplemented bifidobacterium or lactose-free milk, no immune memory. Milk allergy: immune system, milk protein, antibody Ige, avoid drinking, immune memory.
