You are not alone.<\/p>\n<p>Many people experience digestive discomfort without suspecting that dairy might be the culprit. Lactose intolerance affects more than 30% of the population in some regions of the world, and its prevalence is even higher in Asia and South America. Despite its frequency, it remains under-diagnosed due to lack of awareness or confusion with other gastrointestinal conditions.<\/p>\n<p>In this visual guide, we explain clearly what lactose intolerance is, how to recognise its most common symptoms and what steps to take to confirm it reliably.<\/p>\n<h2>What is lactose intolerance?<\/h2>\n<p>Lactose intolerance is the difficulty in digesting lactose, the natural sugar found in milk and milk products. This occurs when the small intestine does not produce enough lactase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose into glucose and galactose.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23273 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/web-beta.ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-2-300x180.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-2-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-2-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-2-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-2-600x360.png 600w, https:\/\/ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-2.png 1154w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is important not to confuse it with cow's milk protein allergy, which is an immune system reaction to milk proteins, such as casein or whey, and not an enzyme problem.<\/p>\n<h2>Most common symptoms of lactose intolerance<\/h2>\n<p>Symptoms usually appear between 30 minutes and 2 hours after consuming foods containing lactose (milk and dairy products, biscuits, sausages, etc.). They vary according to the amount ingested and the degree of lactase deficiency.<\/p>\n<h3>Abdominal bloating in lactose intolerance<\/h3>\n<p><!-- notionvc: ab129349-4263-46f9-89ae-3bbae1022dfa --><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23274 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/web-beta.ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-1-1-297x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"144\" height=\"145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-1-1-297x300.png 297w, https:\/\/ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-1-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-1-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-1-1-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/ailin.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Galactosa-1-1.png 329w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 144px) 100vw, 144px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is one of the most common symptoms.
