Gas and bloating can be an indication of decrease or lack of some digestive enzyme activity.
For the digestion process to work effectively, digestive enzymes are necessary. The body generally produces these enzymes
on its own. If the enzymes are insuficient, the nutrients from food may pass through the digestive system without being fully
digested.
The most common enzyme deficiency is lactose intolerance. Between 30 and 50 million Americans may be
lactose intolerant. Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest the milk sugar lactose and is commonly characterized by
bloating, gas, abdominal distress and even diarrhea. If you suffer from lactose intolerance, tablets containing the enzyme
lactase are available to take when consuming dairy foods. Because many people affected by lactose intolerance avoid milk/dairy,
it makes sense to take a daily calcium suplement.
