Stakeholder Involvement and Public Outreach: Because urban growth boundaries have a significant impact on the ability to develop private land, a thorough public involvement process is critical in formulating these boundaries.
Lactose intolerance is the inability to break down a type of natural sugar called lactose. Lactose is commonly found in dairy products, such as milk and yogurt. A person becomes lactose intolerant when his or her small intestine stops making enough of the enzyme lactase to digest and break down the lactose. When this happens, the undigested lactose moves into the large intestine. The bacteria that are normally present in the large intestine interact with the undigested lactose and cause symptoms such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea. The condition may also be called lactase deficiency.
An enzyme called lactase in the lining of the small intestine breaks down lactose into its individual units, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. A deficiency of the lactase enzyme can produce a condition called lactose intolerance. Instead of normal digestion and absorption in the small intestine, the lactose travels intact to the lower intestinal tract where bacteria ferment it to produce energy for their growth.
