In the case of sensibility to milk sugar, the human body is not able to break down the lactose contained in milk and milk products due to the lack of a certain enzyme. If the human body partly or totally lacks this enzyme, the so-called lactase, the milk sugar that cannot be decomposed and starts to ferment causes meteorism, stomach-ache and colic. The amount of milk sugar that can be consumed without any complaints is different individually, and may change during time as well.

It may happen that the amount of lactase decreases in the body for example due to the regular taking of certain medicines (mainly antibiotics). Rarely, it also may occur that the human body does not produce any lactase (alactasia). In such cases the total deprivation of milk sugar can only guarantee the termination of the severe symptoms.

In the case of partial enzyme deficiency, the consumption of milk products must be limited, and it is recommended to consume acidulated products (like kefir, cheese, curd cheese, yogurt, sour cream) preferably since their milk sugar content is insignificant.
