If I had a small intestine transplant for someone who produced lactase, would it cure it?
I know lactose intolerance isn’t deadly I’m just curious if it’s possible.
In: Biology
Surgery is always risky, due to unexpected reactions to anesthesia and infection, so it’s avoided unless other treatments have failed. Also, tissue implants would require you to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of your life, which cause other side effects. So taking a side-effect-free pill before meals is the BEST treatment possible for lactose intolerance.
