On the surface of the enterocytes are digestive enzymes
like lactase that digest lactose or milk sugar.
(However, for those with severe lactose intolerance, using a digestive enzyme
like lactase may help.)
Not exact matches

lactase — which breaks down lactose so that it can be absorbed by your body — you might experience symptoms

like viral gastroenteritis or food poisoning damages enough gut lining,
lactase production and thus lactose digestion may be hampered for the duration of the sickness.
Just
like our mammalian peers, the typical human shows a decrease in

However, because a damaged intestinal wall can not properly produce
lactase enzymes, lactose intolerance often accompanies gluten intolerance — and people who can normally eat foods
like cheese, yogurt or ice cream simply can not do it when gliadin is present in their diets, and this is why it is necessary to avoid milk products for several months after going «gluten free».
