- Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of lactose intolerance.
Common Causes
Lactose intolerance may be caused by:
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of lactose intolerance include:
- Secondary lactose malabsorption[3][4][5][6]
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
- Infections such as giardiasis
- Drug induced enteritis
- Radiation induced enteritis
- HIV enteropathy
- Sprue (celiac and tropical)
- Whipple's disease (intestinal lipodystrophy)

- Cystic fibrosis
- Diabetic gastropathy
- Kwashiorkor
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
- Iatrogenic such as chemotherapy
- Congenital lactase deficiency[7]
- Developmental lactase deficiency[8]
Genetic Causes
- Lactose intolerance is caused by a mutation in the lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) gene.[9][10][11]

Overview
Causes
Some causes of lactose intolerance are well known. Primary lactase deficiency is a condition that develops over time. After about age 2 the body begins to produce less lactase, though most people will not notice symptoms until they are much older. Secondary lactase deficiency occurs when injury to the small intestine or certain digestive diseases reduce the amount of lactase a person produces. These diseases include celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and Crohn’s disease.
