Lactose Intolerance Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose. Lactose is the predominant sugar of milk. Lactose intolerance results from a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is normally produced by the cells that line the small intestine. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into simpler forms that can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance Most symptoms of lactose intolerance begin 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating or drinking foods containing lactose. The severity of the symptoms depend on the amount of lactose the individual can tolerate.
