What should I do if I feel uncomfortable after drinking milk?
Milk is nutritious and can provide us with high-quality protein and calcium. However, many friends around me are uncomfortable when they drink milk. They have abdominal pain and bloating, and some have diarrhea. Why? What should I do?

This should start with lactose, a special ingredient in milk.

The carbohydrate in milk is mainly lactose, and 100ml milk contains about 4.5% lactose. We need an enzyme called lactase to break down lactose. Lactose enters the human intestine and is decomposed by lactase before it can be absorbed and utilized by us. If there is no lactase, lactose cannot be decomposed and directly enters the large intestine, which will stimulate the peristalsis of the large intestine and cause symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. This symptom is called "lactose intolerance", and people feel uncomfortable after drinking milk because of the lack of this lactase in the body.

Each of us relies on milk to provide nutrition at birth, so most of us have enough lactase in infancy, and the milk we eat can be well absorbed and utilized. But once breast milk is cut off, the ability to synthesize lactase begins to weaken. In the past, when there was not enough food, some people would not eat dairy products for many years and would not be exposed to dairy products for a long time. Lactase in the body is not stimulated and gradually degenerates. Therefore, ingesting milk again will cause bloating and diarrhea, especially drinking milk on an empty stomach. Children born in the 1990s have always kept the habit of drinking milk, and even fewer people are lactose intolerant.

"Lactose intolerance" is not a big problem, and nursed back to health is possible. The following methods can help you relieve or even regulate the symptoms of lactose intolerance.

1. First of all, friends who are lactose intolerant should never drink milk on an empty stomach. Eating bread and biscuits before drinking milk and supplementing some carbohydrates in advance can effectively alleviate the uncomfortable situation.

2. Select "Shuhua Milk". Now dairy products have been subdivided for different consumers. There is a kind of "Shuhua milk" which is actually developed for people who are lactose intolerant. In the process of processing, lactose is treated in advance, so there is no problem that lactose cannot be decomposed in the body.

3. Drink yogurt, lactose has been decomposed during fermentation. At the same time, yogurt can also provide probiotics, high-quality protein and rich calcium.

4. Friends who want to overcome lactose intolerance can drink a small amount of milk many times, just like feeding lactase. Drinking a small amount of milk every time will stimulate the activity of lactase in the body. After a period of time, lactase in the body will slowly return to the level of normal lactose decomposition. If the symptoms are too serious, you can also go to the pharmacy to buy lactose enzyme preparation for supplementary treatment.

Papaya milk pudding

Ingredients: papaya 300g (almost half), milk 400ml, gelatin 2 tablets, sugar 15g (you can add some if you like sweet).

Steps:

1, cut papaya, peel and remove seeds.

2. Take 200g papaya pulp and cut it into small pieces. Mash 100g papaya pulp with a cooking machine, wrap it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for preservation.

3. Gelatine tablets are soaked in soft milk with cold water, boiled with sugar, then turned off the fire and placed at about 60℃. Add gelatine tablets and stir well.

4. Add gelatin milk until it is not hot, add papaya paste and stir well.

5. Put it in a cup and put it in the refrigerator until it is completely solidified (1 hour or more? No specific time? )

6. Take out the pulp, cut it into cubes and put it on the pudding? It's done.

Tips:

1. Gelatin tablets are soaked in cold water. If you use hot water, they will melt directly. Two tablets are about 10g. Rubber powder has never been used. Converted, it should be 10g. A friend said that papaya can be solidified without gelatin. They have never tried. . If so, it is simpler and needs to be verified!
