What are the symptoms of lactose intolerance? Lactose intolerance is a problem caused by the digestive system. Being intolerant to cow’s milk is an allergic reaction triggered by the immune system. However, lactose intolerance and cow’s milk intolerance are not related. People sometimes confuse lactose intolerance with cow’s milk intolerance because the symptoms are often the same. Not all people deficient in lactase have the symptoms commonly associated with lactose intolerance, but those who do are said to have lactose intolerance. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into two simpler forms of sugar called glucose and galactose, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream. Lactose intolerance is caused by a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is produced by the cells that line the small intestine. Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the major sugar found in milk.
