Stone Love Crystals & Healing is once again back in our usual spot at The Night Market ð If you've been having trouble finding us - when you walk along the food aisle in the main shed - keep your eye out for Two Italian Boys wine - we're on the same little island at the other end! Just walk past @Pompous Pooch and you're there!!
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest a sugar called lactose that's found mainly in milk and dairy products. Normally, the small intestine produces an enzyme called lactase, which breaks down lactose into two simple sugars, glucose and galactose, that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
Lactase breaks down the milk sugar lactose and is secreted by the microvilli on small intestinal cells. However, you have to be genetically predisposed to produce lactase in your gut past childhood (called lactase persistence), and about 75% of the world is not. In other words, 75% of the world is lactose intolerant.
