The Connection Between Lactose Intolerance and Celiac

Beyond Celiac reported that there is a connection between lactose intolerance and Celiac Disease. Here's why: In newly diagnosed celiac disease patients, secondary lactose intolerance is common due to the loss of lactase, an enzyme that digests milk sugar along the lining of the small intestineThe damage that gluten causes in the small intestine is the main factor in the lack of lactase for people with celiac diseaseWhile following a strict gluten-free diet, the gut is able to heal, making lactose intolerance temporary in most celiac disease patientsI would love to hear from you!
