Can individuals who are lactose intolerant drink Alkaline Water?

The inability of the body to digest lactose, the primary carbohydrate found in dairy products, results in lactose intolerance, a digestive condition. It's very common, affecting around two-thirds of the world's adult population at a minimum.

First, alkaline water can help to neutralize the acidity of stomach acid, which can make it easier to digest lactose. The sugar found in dairy products is referred to as lactose. The insufficient amount of lactase enzyme in individuals with lactose intolerance prevents them from breaking down lactose when it is consumed. Symptoms including gas, bloating, diarrhea, and cramping in the abdomen may result from this.


Second, alkaline water may improve the absorption of nutrients in the gut. This is because alkaline water has the potential to foster the development of beneficial microorganisms. By helping to break down food and facilitate nutrient absorption, beneficial bacteria are essential to digestion and nutrient absorption. By promoting a healthy gut environment, alkaline water may support individuals with lactose intolerance to better absorb the nutrients from dairy products.

Additionally, alkaline water has been suggested to have anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation in the gut can worsen symptoms of lactose intolerance. Research has shown that alkaline water helps reduce inflammation & oxidative stress in the body, which can contribute to improved digestive health. By reducing inflammation, individuals with lactose intolerance may experience reduced discomfort and symptoms after consuming dairy products.

The alkaline nature of the water can help to neutralize excess stomach acid, reducing the likelihood of acid reflux and indigestion that can occur after consuming lactose-containing foods.
