Symptoms of infant lactose intolerance

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Lactase deficiency in the small intestinal mucosa of newborns is the main cause, and some people may also develop it due to long-term lack of dairy consumption. Unabsorbed or undigested lactose can cause symptoms such as intestinal rumbling, bloating, abdominal pain, flatulence, discomfort, and diarrhea. Some people may also experience belching and nausea.
