hello Dr. Berg we’re gonna talk about lactose  intolerance okay a lot of people have this and  

they don’t even know they have it and some people  think they have it but they don’t really have it  

so let’s talk about that lactose intolerance is a  situation where you can’t break down lactose that  

is milk sugar and there are dairy products that  you can buy that says lactose free but here are  

the symptoms gas and bloating inflammation pain  in the abdomen you know pretty much right after  

you eat or it could be delayed several minutes  rumbling in the intestine sometimes the lactose  

intolerance occurs lower in the small intestine  so it takes maybe even an hour to kind of get  

down there until you react so it’s not always  immediate okay but the point is these are the  

symptoms so you have to differentiate is a lactose  intolerance issue or is it a milk allergy two  

separate things an allergy is an allergy to a  reaction to the protein in milk which is casein  

as nothing to do with the milk sugar so if you  consume lactose free products dairy products and  

you still have a reaction it could be of a milk  allergy the best thing to do is go get tested and  

just see if you have a lactose intolerance or  is an allergy to milk and especially if you’re  

reacting to milk and you’re eating and you get  pain now why do you have a lactose intolerance  

problem well it could be several reasons could  be a previous damage to your intestinal lining  

let’s say for example in the past you had a lot of  antibiotics let’s say in the past you were given  

vaccinations that threw off your system let’s  say you were raised on pasteurized commercial  

milk with all the different hormones and chemicals  and your body started developing resistance let’s  

say you have a loss of your immune system for  some reason like a huge stress event and you  

start getting an autoimmune disorder and that  made you your immune system weak so there’s a  

lot of different things and even as you age you  develop a resistance or an intolerance to just  

because really you’re lacking the enzyme lactase  to be able to break down lactose and it can happen  

on a gradient scale where you’re a little bit  lactose intolerance and then it’s more and more  

severe okay all right so what do you do about it  you want to get a good probiotic so you can start  

building up your floor your intestinal bacteria  so those little guys can start making the enzyme  

lactase to digest lactose the one that you want to  want to get and when you read the label the type  

of microbe would be digital bacterium along them  okay so I’ll write that down below if you want to  

get the exact spelling because those little guys  will start making lactase which is the enzyme to  

break down lactose now the other thing about what  to avoid if you’re lactose intolerant is you want  

to avoid processed cheese’s cheese or milk itself  yogurt and cottage cheese because those are the  

milk products that have high sugar now anytime  you read the label and it says sugar and you can  

be pretty much guaranteed that that is the amount  of lactose in the product okay so just look at the  

sugar so processed cheese for example has 19 grams  of sugar that means if 19 grams of lactose that’s  

a lot of lactose you’re going to react pretty  bad on that product milk to 12 grams yogurt 10  

grams cottage cheese 6 grams of sugar that’s all  lactose but when you get into cheese like aging  

cheeses like cheddar or Swiss is zero well it’s  like 0.5 to 0.32 sometimes 0 grams of sugar or  

zero grams of lactose so just read the label I  mean if you really want to be safe just get it  

zero but sometimes even a small amount of lactose  or milk sugar is not going to be a problem alright  

so thanks for watching go ahead and apply this and  put your comments below hey you probably already
