Lactose intolerance is one of the most common food allergies; symptoms range from mild discomfort to extreme intestinal pain. Complete avoidance of dairy is perhaps the easiest way to avoid these problems, especially for young children. However, it might not be the only option. According to a recent study, infants with lactose intolerance, when given a specific probiotic strain, were able to tolerate lactose and even reverse their cow’s milk allergy. Does Lactobacillus rhamnosus Combat Lactose Intolerance? The specific strain that shows promise in lactose intolerance is Lactobacillus rhamnosus, a Gram-positive anaerobe probiotic bacteria. When administered to lactose-intolerant infants, the bacteria colonized the intestinal tract and produced positive changes within the gut microbiota. [1] Changes that helped the infants handle cow’s milk formula without issue. […] Read More

Though there are no off-limit foods, there are certain foods that babies cannot tolerate usually.

by Walter Last There is an intimate connection between lactose as in milk products and the common cold. Earlier biochemists must have known something that modern biochemists have forgotten and the medical profession has never known when they named oxidized galactose ‘mucic acid’. I found this out 30 years ago while researching health problems related to lactose. Lactose or milk-sugar consists of one molecule each of glucose and galactose linked together. Glucose, of course, is our main muscle fuel. Babies need galactose as an important building block of the brain, the central nervous system and several proteins. Because of our bigger and more complex brain mother’s milk is even higher in lactose than animal milk to ensure that the baby obtains sufficient galactose. In later […] Read More
