Alactasia

Synonyms or meaning of Alactasia

“Alactasia” refers to the inability to digest lactose due to a total lack of lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose in the body. This condition is usually congenital, meaning it is present from birth. Individuals with alactasia are unable to properly digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products, leading to symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps when they consume these foods. It’s important to note that alactasia is different from lactose intolerance, where there is a reduced ability to digest lactose, but not a total lack of lactase.
