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
I don’t see any reason to not tolerate lactose🤔 it has never done me wrong. Have you tried being more open minded.
Isn’t taking a lactose pill a cure?
Yes, totally a good idea to have major surgery and go on expensive anti-rejection medication that drastically increases your susceptibility to cancer and just about every other illness just so you can eat a lot of ice cream and cheese without shitting your brains out.
Lactose intolerance is normal. Being able to tolerate lactose is unusual. There’s nothing to cure.
What kind of transplant would that be? There is no cure because there is nothing wrong that could be corrected. If there was a treatment, it would be Gene therapy. Which might be a possibility in the future, but lets be honest, its not really a life threatening Problem. So it wouldnt be First on the list
Lactose intolerance is the natural state of weaned mammals, there is nothing to cure. Around 10,000 years ago, some humans developed the ability to digest milk into adulthood. This development coincides with the advent of farming, so it’s probably related
You might as well be asking why isn’t there a cure for cyanide intolerance
They do have a cure for it! Rejoice! Lactose intolerance can be managed by medication- lactase pills. You take one along with your food.
We really do not have to go to extensive medical solutions when there’s an easy pill for it.
They can it’s just not FDA approved and apparently is temporary & expensive. Here’s a video on a guy that temporarily edited the genes of his gut bacteria using magic I presume. https://youtu.be/aoczYXJeMY4?si=0S5J9Nm-jbzOopoH
After I started taking Humeria for my arthritis my lactose intolerance cleared up. The planters wart on my foot disappeared too. It’s a weird drug and I only have anecdotal eveidence to share. I think in about 5 years there will be commercials for “Have you been taking Humeria? You may be entitled to compensation!”
Digestive enzymes ARE an easy solution. I’m very lactose intolerant but included DE’s in my daily vitamin pack (for greater nutrient absorption) and when I eat troubling foods and it eliminates the issue. They allow me to eat dairy, ice-cream, etc without the slightest issue.
