Feeling bloated and gassy? Could Dairy be to blame?

Dairy food is any food made from or containing derivatives of milk (usually cows, but also goats) including milk, cheese, yoghurt, infant formulas and many types of processed foods which contain milk solids.

Up to 70% of the world’s adult population are unable to adequately digest dairy foods. That means that three in four people are having difficulty digesting dairy products. Could this include you?

Lactose intolerance is an inability to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk, due to an absence or shortage of the enzyme lactase produced by the intestines. Gradual lactase disappearance usually starts between 2 to 6 years of age, although it can also begin at virtually any time in life. Symptoms of lactose intolerance frequently occur in the gastrointestinal system and include nausea, bloating, cramping, gas and diarrhoea.

Dairy intolerance is slightly different; it is an immune response to either the sugar part or more commonly the protein part (casein) of dairy foods. Symptoms may display in any organ of the body and range from fatigue, respiratory symptoms, mood changes, nutrient deficiencies, dry itchy skin to acne and gastrointestinal discomforts.

Dairy intolerance is also caused by a shortage of enzymes. These enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas, but for various reasons there may be a lack of supply.

Put dairy foods back on the menu!

There are two ways to deal with lactose and dairy intolerance. One is to completely avoid dairy foods. While this is very effective there may be times when this becomes inconvenient or difficult to achieve. The second option is Radiance® Digest Dairy. Everyone deserves the freedom to enjoy cakes, deserts and creamy sauces occasionally!

When you are eating out, or can’t be sure if foods contain dairy products or not, or when you would rather relax and enjoy yourself than worry about an upset stomach, try Radiance® Digest Dairy capsules.

This 100% vegan enzyme blend has been formulated to aid the digestion of dairy foods. The comprehensive enzyme blend in this formula targets not only the dairy sugar, but the dairy protein and dairy fat as well.
