Lactose intolerance — also referred to as lactose malabsorption — is usually caused by having too little of an enzyme produced in your small intestine called lactase. Can you develop lactose intolerance? Lactose intolerance can be developed at any age. There are four main types: primary
congenital
developmental
secondary
Primary and congenital lactose intolerance are both inherited. Primary lactose intolerance is the most common. Your lactase production starts to decrease as you age and you become less dependent on dairy, usually after the age of 2. You may not notice symptoms, however, until you’re an adult. It may seem like lactose intolerance has developed, but primary lactose intolerance is hereditary. Congenital lactose intolerance is a rare condition found in newborn babies.
