Dairy Sensitivity

A diary sensitivity is an indication of lactose intolerance. The cells of the small ingesting produce lactase, the enzyme that breaks lactose down. Diary sensitivity is a strong indicator for small intestine support and / or nutrients to help the lining of the small intestine heal.

The incomplete digestion of food is due to a chronic pancreatic insufficiency can lead to increased irritation of the small intestine. Irritation can also be caused by dysbiosis. An overgrowth of unfriendly bacterial and yeast causes inflammation to the cells of the small intestine, which start to produce less lactase due to cell death. If you continue to consume diary, the irritation and cell death continues leading to chronic increased intestinal hyper-permeability and malabsorption.

Lifestyle Changes
