Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lactose intolerant individuals cannot break down lactose in the small intestine, so lactose passes through to the large intestine where it is fermented by bacteria, causing symptoms such as bloating and diarrhea. In lactose tolerant individuals, lactose is broken down in the small intestine and the resulting glucose and galactose are absorbed into the bloodstream. Lactose is not typically found in the mouth or stomach, regardless of lactose intolerance.
