For almost 100 years, women (and men) had been fighting to win that right: They had made speeches, signed petitions, marched in parades and argued over and over again that women, like men, deserved all of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
People with lactose intolerance or lactase deficiency cannot metabolize lactose properly; they lack lactase, an enzyme required in the digestive system to break down lactose. Patients typically experience bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea after drinking milk.Lactose is a sugar that is found most notably in milk. Lactose intolerance is characterized by abdominal cramps and diarrhea after consumption of food that contains lactose (milk, ice cream).eople with adequate amounts of lactase can break down lactose into glucose and galactose (a type of sugar) which are then absorbed into the bloodstream. In people with low levels of lactase, the lactose is not broken down and does not absorb into the bloodstream, instead it moves into the large intestine (colon).
In the colon, normal bacteria interact with undigested lactose, causing the signs and symptoms of lactose intolerance. There are three types of lactose intolerance. Different factors cause the lactase deficiency underlying each type. Primary lactose intolerance. This is the most common type of lactose intolerance. People who develop primary lactose intolerance start life producing plenty of lactase â a necessity for infants, who get all their nutrition from milk.
