Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If someone is lactose intolerant, they lack the enzyme ____
A
lipase
B
lactose
C
lactase
D
milk
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Too little of an enzyme produced in your small intestine (lactase) is usually responsible for lactose intolerance. You can have low levels of lactase and still be able to digest milk products. But if your levels are too low you become lactose intolerant, leading to symptoms after you eat or drink dairy.

Detailed explanation-2: -In lactose intolerance, the body doesn’t make enough lactase to break down lactose. Instead, undigested lactose sits in the gut and gets broken down by bacteria, causing gas, bloating, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. Lactose intolerance is fairly common.
