Content: Usually however the process is gradual, and in general if you develop symptoms of lactose intolerance suddenly, there is another cause. As lactose intolerance shares many of the same symptoms as other intestinal conditions, some of which can be more serious, it is important to get an accurate diagnosis by a medical profession, rather than simply eliminating lactose. Studies have shown that lactose intolerance is one of the most over-reported health conditions, and that many people who believe they have lactose intolerance, in fact do not obtain positive results when tested using a breath hydrogen test, which is a reliable test for the condition. It has also been suggested by research that symptoms thought to be related to lactose ingestion are often not related to the consumption of lactose containing products, and therefore likely to be due to another cause. There are three main types of lactose intolerance: Primary lactose intolerance: This is simply the result of reduced lactase enzyme production as you age, and often leads to gradual onset of symptoms. Although it may be a gradual process, this type of lactose intolerance often appears as if it has suddenly started as people may ignore symptoms or not associate them with milk, until they progress to the stage where they are more obvious. Secondary lactose intolerance : This type of intolerance is more likely to appear suddenly, and is due to illness or injury of the small intestine.
