Content: 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. Celiac disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, intestinal surgery or even a severe stomach upset may cause the intolerance. The good news however, is that over time, with the treatment of the underlying condition, this type of lactose intolerance can usually be reversed. Congenital lactose intolerance : This type of intolerance is rare, but dos occasionally happen when babies are born without functional lactase, and thus cannot digest lactose from the moment they are born.
