Detailed explanation-2: -Lactose is the main type of carb in all mammal’s milk, including humans, cows, goats, sheep, and buffalo ( 2 ). It’s a disaccharide made up of glucose and galactose, and your body needs an enzyme called lactase to digest it. However, most humans stop producing this enzyme after weaning-at about 2 years old.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactose is a type of sugar found in milk and milk products, such as cheese, yogurt, ice cream and butter. Our bodies produce an enzyme called lactase, which helps us digest lactose properly. In some people, over time, the body stops producing enough lactase. This is normal.
