Hello.In my previuos article,I mentioned some of the important things you need to know about diarrhoea.But I leave one question at the end of it.So,the question is why can't you drink milk when you are having diarrhoea?

         The reason is,drinking milk while you still have diarrhoea can aggravate the diarrhoea itself and create a condition known as lactose intolerance.Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest a sugar called 'lactose' which is usually present in milk and diary products.Normally,when a person consumes any food or drink containing lactose,these lactose will be broken down by an enzyme in the intestine,lactaseinto two another sugars.They are glucose and galactose.These two are the simpler unit of sugar.They will be absorbed into the gut,then into the blood stream and finally will be turned into energy,as a fuel for our bodies.
