- According to scientists and health researchers,Lactose intolerance can be caused by several factors:
there is the common type, which is the primary lactase defiency starts at a young age.the first produce plenty of lactate , which is crucial for a baby's growth. However,as children replace milk with alternatives.the lactate might decrease but it still is high for digesting the amount of dairy.in an adult diet. Lactase production falls sharply,making dairy products hard for digestion in adult years.
- Secondary lactase defiencey. This form occurs when your small intestine is affected either by an illness or a surgery. Other diseases associated with this intolerance is Crohn's disease.
- The Congenital lactase deficiency .One of the rarest disease in the 3.this disorder is passed from generation in a pattern of inheritance(autosomal recessive) that the mother and father must pass on the gene variant for a child to be affected. Premature babies might also carry the lactose intolerance gene as of the insufficient level.

Link to Other Illnesses or Diseases
There are many illnesses that are really related to this disease itself. so,we decided to name a few.
1)Osteoporosis.people might wonder,"well,if you don't consume dairy product(which is one part of our diet), aren't your bones going to be weak?" well,yes. As people with lactose intolerance is not able to take in such lactose found in many products,this might be a risk to our bones for protection.
Don't take my words seriously,but there are researches that state that this might not be a problem.the ideas might be conflicting. However, if you are worried,there are some tips to still make your bones healthy !
2)Celiac Disease.At first,What is it?Celiac Disease is a disorder when ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine.(just so you were eating healthy,no,you're not).Strange,right? By the way,they are related
as lactose intolerance is a side effect of celiac disease. Celiacs who eat gluten would eventually become lactose intolerant as the villi and micro villi in the small intestine gets damaged,hence not capable of breaking down lactose...
