Lactose intolerance

Food Sensitivities

Lactose intolerance refers to digestive symptoms after consuming dairy due to reduced production of the enzyme lactase in adulthood.

The MCM6/LCT region carries well-known variants that determine whether lactase production persists into adulthood, and these variants vary widely across populations.

This result reflects research-level variation in lactase persistence and is not a diagnostic test for lactose intolerance, milk allergy, or other GI conditions.

Dairy type, portion size, fermentation (yogurt, hard cheese), gut microbiome, and overall gut health also shape real-world tolerance.
