 Ingredients

The dairy products used in the Lacto programme are lactose-reduced.

 Nutrition window

Lactose intolerance affects approximately 10-20% of the Czech population, and most of them develop it secondary to diseases of the small intestine mucosa, which may be related to Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, etc.

With advancing age, the amount and activity of an enzyme called lactase can physiologically decrease in humans, causing the typical difficulties associated with lactose intolerance or lactose absorption. If the enzyme is ineffective or reduces its activity completely, lactose is no longer broken down as we need it to be. Instead, it moves to the large intestine, where it is fermented by micro-organisms and starts to cause typical bothersome digestive problems. In these cases, low-lactose or lactose-free products offer a workable solution. This principle is precisely applied in the boxed diet Lacto- program. Few people know that the lactose content drops by 20-30% during fermentation, so cottage cheese, yoghurt, kefir, and acidophilus milk, for example, may not be a problem for people with intolerance. In cheese production, most of the lactose is transferred to the whey, so the lactose content of hard cheeses is almost zero.

Cow’s milk protein allergy is more severe and works by a completely different mechanism than lactose intolerance. People with a proven cow’s milk protein allergy must follow a strictly dairy-free diet. This consists in the absolute exclusion of dairy products containing not only cow’s milk, but also goat’s or sheep’s milk. These milks have similar allergenicity. An allergy to cow’s milk protein (ABKM) causes an overreaction of the immune system. The reaction is mainly caused by abdominal pain, diarrhoea, often with blood in the stool, but it can also manifest itself as urticaria or eczema. ABKM is one of the most common food allergies in children under 3 years of age, while it is rather rare in adults. It is caused by products containing milk protein. Dairy is replaced by vegetable drinks made from soya, nuts, rice, or oats on a dairy-free diet.
