| | Lactose Intolerance |
 | | Lactose intolerance is a very individual condition and it's often easy to manage if you're in tune with your body. | | | During this procedure, doctors view the inside of the intestines by inserting a long tube with a light and a tiny camera on the end into the mouth or rectum. | | | In addition to doing a physical examination, the doctor will ask you about any concerns and symptoms you have, your past health, your family's health, any medications you're taking, any allergies you may have, and other issues. |

| | Lactose intolerance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It should be remembered that lactose intolerance is not a binary (all-or-nothing) condition: the reduction in lactase production, and hence, amount of lactose that can be tolerated varies from person to person, and may change with age. | | | Since each individual's tolerance to consumed lactose varies, according to the National Institute of Health, "Dietary control of lactose intolerance depends on people learning through trial and error how much lactose they can handle." | | | A medical condition with similar symptoms is fructose malabsorption. |
