Q. Why are dairy products (milk, cheese) bad for digestion?

A.

75% of Koreans have lactose intolerance, making it difficult to digest dairy products. This can cause abdominal bloating, diarrhea, and gas.

📝 Detailed Answer

성인이 되면서 유당 분해 효소(락타아제)가 감소하여 유당불내증이 발생합니다.

  • 증상: 우유 섭취 후 30분~2시간 내 복부 팽만, 설사, 가스
  • 원인: 유당(락토스)을 분해하지 못해 장내 발효
  • 대안: 락토프리 우유, 두유, 아몬드 우유
💡 팁

요거트나 치즈는 발효 과정에서 유당이 분해되어 우유보다 소화가 잘 됩니다.
