Diarrhea after drinking milk is more than lactose intolerance? Not necessarily, or also related to these 3 reasons
With the continuous improvement of people's living conditions, more and more people begin to pay attention to health preservation and health care, especially you, as a parent, attach great importance to the physical development of children and begin to adjust their diet.
Because of this, milk has been promoted to the altar of health food. Experts believe that it contains a lot of calcium, water, fat, protein and phospholipids, which are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. demand, is one of the best food choices.
Therefore, many people are used to drinking a glass of milk after getting up in the morning. However, for some people in life, drinking milk does not play any role in health care, but instead causes them to have diarrhea. What are the reasons behind this?
1. Milk spoilage
Milk is actually a drink that is not easy to store, especially fresh milk and milk that has been opened. If it is not consumed at one time and left outside for a long time, it is likely to cause the milk to deteriorate.
In addition, milk is also prone to spoilage after its expiration date . At this time, not only the milk will produce peculiar smell, but also it is easy to breed a large number of microorganisms and bacteria, which may lead to digestive tract infection after drinking, followed by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms;
2. Lactose intolerance
A related research survey shows that nearly 90% of people in China have lactose intolerance.
It refers to the lack of lactase secretion in the human body. When milk enters the digestive system, the lactose contained in it cannot be quickly decomposed, but instead accumulates in the intestines and stimulates the intestines continuously , resulting in faster peristalsis. , which in turn induces non-infectious diarrhea .
The reason why some people have no symptoms of diarrhea is that although lactose is not absorbed, it can be consumed by the intestinal flora, so diarrhea will not occur;
3. Allergic reaction
Under normal circumstances, after foreign substances enter the human body, they are faced with two weeks of results. The first is to be absorbed and utilized and naturally excreted, and the second is to completely remove and eliminate them through the immune system reaction.
However, if the foreign substance enters the body and causes the immune response, and the response exceeds the normal range, that is, the immune system attacks the harmless substance, it will cause an allergic reaction .
Allergens are present in milk, namely milk proteins. Some allergic patients will have symptoms such as skin redness, urticaria , etc., while some allergic patients will have symptoms such as nausea , vomiting, abdominal pain, and frequent diarrhea due to the reaction in the digestive tract ;
4. Digestive disease
If you have digestive-related diseases, such as chronic liver disease (abnormal secretion of bile), pancreatic disease (abnormal secretion of digestive enzymes), gallbladder disease (unable to excrete bile normally), gastrointestinal diseases, etc., it will affect normal food and digestion .
After eating a lot of milk, protein and fat cannot be absorbed and utilized by the body in time, and symptoms such as abdominal distension, acid reflux, and diarrhea will appear.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that there are many reasons for diarrhea after drinking milk, the most common of which is lactose intolerance.
However, if after drinking milk, not only the symptoms of diarrhea, but also many other physical discomforts. This may not be as simple as lactose intolerance or allergy, but the disease has found its own signal, and it is necessary to seek medical attention for relevant screening in time.
