But what about people who suffer from both intolerances? Is this possible? Yes, it is, What to eat<\/a> What should you choose to protect your health and well-being? Our team can tell you more about double intolerance to lactose and gluten<\/a>.<\/p>\n The answer is (unfortunately) yes \ud83d\ude05.<\/p>\n Lactose intolerance or 'alactasia' and gluten intolerance are characterised by different biological mechanisms. They can also coexist in the same person<\/strong>This is because certain genetic predispositions can make an individual more susceptible to developing several food intolerances<\/a> and that an overall fragility of the digestive system opens the way to various disorders and pathologies.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n When gluten intolerance is linked to coeliac disease, an autoimmune pathology that causes inflammation of the small intestine when gluten is ingested, damage to the small intestine can contribute to the development of the disease. reduce production of the enzyme lactase<\/strong><\/a> and lead to secondary lactose intolerance. In this specific case, alactasia (lactose intolerance) is generally temporary<\/span> and is reduced by a strict gluten-free diet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance can be difficult to identify because they are accompanied by sometimes identical manifestations<\/strong> bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, chronic fatigue, etc.<\/p>\n A precise diagnosis is therefore necessary<\/strong> to identify the intolerance or intolerances experienced and adopt an adapted lifestyle.<\/p>\n For lactose<\/a><\/strong>We recommend that you a hydrogen breath test<\/strong><\/a> or a blood test. It is also possible to have the lactase supplementation test from LACTOLERANCE <\/a>(fast, simple and reliable self-diagnosis). \u2705<\/strong><\/p>\n For gluten<\/strong>we recommend that you a blood test to measure antibodies<\/strong> or an intestinal biopsy<\/strong> to confirm coeliac disease.<\/p>\n Setting up an elimination regime<\/strong> (or avoidance test) can also be useful if you want to assess the effects of the absence of lactose or gluten on your digestive comfort.<\/p>\n Eliminate lactose and gluten from your diet, while maintaining a balanced diet to limit the risk of deficiencies.<\/p>\n For this reason, avoid eating foods containing lactose<\/strong> (milk, dairy products, etc.) and foods containing gluten<\/strong> (wheat, rye, barley, oats, etc.). Also look out for products likely to contain lactose or hidden gluten<\/a>Just like processed industrial dishes.<\/p>\n Turn to lactose-free, lactose-free and gluten-free alternatives to reduce your physical and digestive problems.<\/p>\n Plan balanced lactose-free and gluten-free meals, without neglecting your nutritional needs. Compensate for a lack of calcium and vitamin D with green vegetables, almonds and calcium-rich mineral water, and for a lack of dietary fibre with fruit, vegetables and seeds.<\/p>\n Finally, supplement your diet with B vitamins, especially vitamin B12, which can be deficient in people who limit their consumption<\/a> lactose and gluten.<\/p>\nCan you be lactose and gluten intolerant at the same time?<\/h2>\n
