Lactose intolerance is a condition caused by lactase deficiency, where the body lacks sufficient lactase enzyme to break down lactose (milk sugar), leading to digestive discomfort; unlike milk allergies which involve immune system reactions, this is a functional digestive issue where undigested sugar ferments in the gut, and fermented dairy products can be better tolerated as the fermentation process breaks down lactose.

Why Can’t You Digest Milk?Added:
It's called lactase deficiency. This is a deficiency of the enzyme called lactase. Lactose is a substance, a type of sugar, and the enzyme that breaks it down is biochemically called lactase.
It's an innate condition. I have a lactase deficiency now, so I don't tolerate fresh milk very well. Well, so I don't drink it. I drink the sour kind.
There are fermented dairy products.
It's important that the fermented product is made from what a little cow gives, a cow, and not from a reaction chamber at a food processing plant.
Because where have you seen milk that doesn't go sour for a month? I mean, where have you seen natural milk like that, which doesn't sour for a whole month? Ever wondered where that comes from?
