Lactose intolerance refers to a genetic disorder caused by a mutation of the LCT gene. This gene produces the enzyme know as lactase that is utilized in the breakdown and digestion of the sugar lactose. Lactose is found in many dairy products, causing those inflicted with this disorder to become less tolerant of these goods. Symptoms include pain in the abdominal region, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and flatulence anywhere from around 30 minutes to two hours after dairy consumption. No cure has been developed yet, but treatments includes dietary supplements and tailored diets.
