If you have these symptoms this may show you have lactose intolerant. What is lactose intolerance? Lactose is a type of sugar present in milk and other dairy products. In order to digests lactose body need the enzyme called lactase to break down it.1,2 In people with lactose intolerance, their body is lack of this enzyme and caused the body is not able to digest lactose in stomach. The undigested lactose is fermented in the large bowel and gas by-products make people feel bloating.1,2 How common is lactose intolerance?3 There are around 75% of...

...1) Lactose intolerance is a lack of enzyme lactase, leading to some distressing symptoms after eating or drinking foods containing lactose. If I consume dairy containing lactose when I have lactose intolerance, I will have diarrhea first. Because of the lack of enzyme lactase, the undigested lactose draws water into the digestive tract, resulting in diarrhea. In the large intestine, the bacteria can ferment the lactose and creat gases, causing bloating, flatulence and cramps. Someone who has mild lactose intolerance should gradually put some lactose-containing foods to his diet, if he still wants to enjoy the dairy. He should eat small amounts of lactose-containing foods throughout the day, instead of consuming a large amount at one time. He should eat lactose-containing foods with a meal or snack, rather than by themselves. He should try reduced-lactose dairy products, such as whole milk, cottage cheese and yogurts. For people who have severe lactose intolerance, they should take lactase pills before meals containing lactose....

This paper will discuss lactose intolerance form a molecular level to the evolutionary level. Also, this paper will outline an experiment designed to show the various levels of lactose and glucose in various samples of milk. First we must understand, what is lactose intolerance? To do that we must first understand what happens in the human body that defines lactose intolerance. The first step is learning what takes place in order to have a chemical reaction. Then, what happens during that reaction to make someone lactose intolerant or non lactose intolerant. Finally, what happened during evolution that makes some people lactose intolerant and some not. Enzymes are proteins that make reactions happen faster. (National Enzyme Company 2015). Enzymes regulate chemical reactions. They do this by binding to molecules called substrates. Enzyme activators are molecules that start or speed up an enzyme’s activity. (National Enzyme Company 2015). Like a baker getting an electric mixer instead of mixing by hand...

...affects both young and old and is a source of concern to medics to find a solution to the challenge. This paper will dwell on elaborating on food allergies resulting from the intake of cow milk. Introduction Allergic reactions to the intake of cow milk, peanut, eggs, wheat, and fish to infants and children are common occurrences of cases of food allergy. This paper is a presentation of food allergies as a result of taking cow milk in babies and small children. The reason for choosing cow milk allergies is because it is the commonest of all food allergies and affects a majority of the infants and children. Again, cow milk is a common and necessary food substance for a healthy growth of infants and children. It is also readily available to majority households both in the rural and urban areas thus affecting a majority of infants and kids. The combination of these reasons makes cow milk a common food allergy thus prompting my desire to research on cow milk allergies. Where I undertook the research on cow milk allergies. Cow milk allergies affect a significant number of infants and school going children. I conducted my research at an immunization center for infants and children. From my efforts, I learnt that cow milk allergy was a grave cause for concern and there is a dire need to address it. From my research, I identified that it is important to educate parents and...

...Lived Experience Paper Irritable Bowel Syndrome Brooke Rogers Florida State University College of Nursing NUR3125 – Fall ‘09 November 10, 2009 Introduction Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is recorded to be the most common intestinal complaint and reasoning for a patient’s direct referral to a gastroenterologist (Medline Plus Organization, 2009). This paper will give a summarized desciption of the characterisitics of IBS, as well as a glimpse into the life experience of a patient whom deals with the symptoms of irritable bowel on a daily basis. My hopes would be for people to get a more cathartic understanding of the effects that these constant symptoms have on a regular person. Description IBS is described as, a functional gastrointestinal disorder in which the patient experiences periods of abdominal pain and discomfort, along with changes in their normal bowel movement habits (Longstreth, 2006). However, unlike more serious gastrointestinal diseases, IBS does not bring about bowel inflammation or permanent alterations in bowel tissue; therefore, it does not contribute either to irreversible damage of the colon, or an increased risk of colorectal cancer. (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2009). Epidemiology and Populations at Risk Studies suggest that genetic susceptibility plays a role in IBS. Patients with a first-degree relative diagnosed with IBS have an increased risk of this disorder. Approximately 1 in every 5 people in the world...

...Harvard Referencing Style July 2015 Harvard Referencing Style What is it? Academic writing requires authors to support their arguments with reference to other published work or experimental results/findings. A reference system will perform three essential tasks: Enable you to acknowledge other authors’ ideas (avoid plagiarism). Enable a reader to quickly locate the source of the material you refer to so they can consult it if they wish. Indicate to the reader the scope and depth of your research. The Harvard style is a widely used referencing system to help you achieve these objectives. How do I use the Harvard Referencing Style? The Harvard style involves two tasks: How you refer to other authors in the body of your text (in-text citation). How you compile a list of reference sources at the end of your text (reference list). What does it look like? Here is an extract showing what in-text citations look like in the Harvard Style It has been claimed that due to funding being almost exclusively available from the Irish Film Board (IFB), Irish film makers are restricted to the type of Ireland they can depict in their work (MacDougall, 2009). Jervir (2011) argues that subjects such as Northern Ireland are disproportionately represented as these are key areas of interest to the IFB.

...Introduction A. In general, the food related products will include: Beef, Chicken, Turkey, Potatoes, Fish, Processed Foods, Stoves, Vegetables, various machinery, and cash registers, order monitors, ovens, wireless systems for ordering services. Products will be explained in more detail further on. B. What will the product or service be called? The named Baked Hut shows our customers the kind of products we export because, usually fast food eaters are accustomed to oiled foods, so as an alternative for oil, most products will indeed be baked to lessen the amount of calories. It will also affect how we advertise it because it is a short, catchy, and non-difficult name that no one will have problems pronouncing or reading. Baked Hut will export food related products that will differ from a typical fast food restaurant in various ways. In current typical North American fast food markets, restaurants such as McDonald’s, Burger King, and KFC provide customers with food containing high amounts of calories, saturated and trans fats, sodium salt and processed sweeteners that increase your risk for chronic diseases. Baked Hut will alter this issue by providing the same idea of fast food, but instead encountering the health risks associated with regular fast food and providing customers with healthier food. The idea is for customers to gain the same pleasure of eating “fast food”, but without being conscious of how it is affecting their health. Generally, we’re looking at North American...

...culmination of years of my own research. And after careful thought, I put into the study guide what I feel are the most important concepts you need to know for the RD/DTR exam. If you notice, I spent much time teaching you in detail the concepts you need to know, not just “spitting” you questions with little or no explanation. I believe this is important. I know you might be thinking “oh, how am I going to absorb and learn all this material?” I say, just read and answer the questions at your own pace. Simply test yourself and of course take some breaks along the way. Just take it one concept at a time. After you have mastered one concept, then move on to the next.
