Comparing the Digestion of Milk With Different Beta-casein Protein Content by Dairy Intolerant Persons
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Lactose free milk, Jersey milk, and 2 other interventions for Dairy Intolerance. Completed, enrolled 42 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Persons with dairy intolerance may experience cramps/abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, acute diarrhea, or fecal urgency when they ingest excessive amounts of lactose. The intensity of these conditions can be mild or severe and likely depends on numerous variables including dose, transit time, intestinal residual lactase activity and microbiome potential to ferment lactose. Jersey cattle produce milk containing high levels of the A2 β-casein protein . There are claims that high A2 β-casein milk is more easily digested by people who are lactose maldigesters . We propose to conduct a double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial to determine if high A2 β-casein milk from Jersey cattle is actually better digested and tolerated by lactose maldigesters.
