lactose intolerance means that we don't possess the lactase enzyme in the brush border of our small intestine the sugar which is glucose and galactose so lactose is a disaccharide of glucose and galactose passes through our small intestine it's supposed to get degraded there by lactose and moves down into large bowel where it can get fermented causing gas pain that is lactose intolerance that is not the same as inflammation
