Overview

The most common cause of lactose intolerance is acquired primary lactase deficiency. Less common causes of lactose intolerance include Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, Infections such as giardiasis, Drug induced enteritis,

Causes

Life-threatening Causes

  • 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:

  • Acquired primary lactase deficiency ( lactase nonpersistence, adult-type hypolactasia)[1][2]

Less Common Causes

Less common causes of lactose intolerance include:

Genetic Causes

  • Lactose intolerance is caused by a mutation in the lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) gene.[9][10][11]
