A. Lactose intolerance can vary in its permanence depending on the underlying cause: 1. **Primary Lactose Intolerance:** This is the most common form and typically develops over time as the production of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose, decreases. It is generally a permanent condition, but symptoms can be managed through dietary adjustments. 2. **Secondary Lactose Intolerance:** This type occurs due to an underlying condition that temporarily affects lactase production, such as gastrointestinal infections or inflammation. If the underlying condition is treated or resolves, lactase production might return to normal, and symptoms can improve or resolve. 3. **Congenital Lactose Intolerance:** This is a rare, genetic condition where a baby is born without the ability to produce lactase. This form is permanent, and affected individuals need to avoid lactose-containing foods throughout their lives. Management strategies for lactose intolerance include: - **Avoiding Lactose-Containing Foods:** Limit or eliminate dairy products from the diet. - **Lactase Supplements:** These can help digest lactose if consumed with dairy. - **Lactose-Free Products:** Use lactose-free milk and dairy products. If you suspect lactose intolerance, consult a healthcare provider to get a proper diagnosis and tailored advice on managing the condition.
