Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Does lactose build up in your system over a series of several hours/meals, leading to issues? Additionally, do acidic foods worsen the symptoms of lactose intolerance?
Answered by Dr. Ali Choukair
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Yes, lactose can accumulate in your system if consumed over several hours or meals, potentially leading to increased symptoms.
Additionally, consuming acidic foods can increase stomach acidity, which may worsen your lactose intolerance symptoms.
It's a good idea to monitor both the amount of lactose and acidic foods you consume to help manage symptoms.
Thanks
