  2. Lactose intolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance

    The severity of these signs and symptoms typically increases with the amount of lactose consumed; most lactose-intolerant people can tolerate a certain level of lactose in their diets without ill effects. [16] [17] Because lactose intolerance is not an allergy, it does not produce allergy symptoms (such as itching, hives, or anaphylaxis).

  3. Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactose-1-phosphate_urid...

    While awaiting confirmatory testing for classic galactosemia, the infant is typically fed a soy-based formula, as human and cow milk contains galactose as a component of lactose. [4] Confirmatory testing would include measurement of enzyme activity in red blood cells, determination of Gal-1-P levels in the blood, and mutation testing.

  4. Zygosaccharomyces bailii - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygosaccharomyces_bailii

    For example, by utilizing acetic acid, the yeast can raise the pH of pickles sufficiently to allow the growth of less acid-tolerant bacteria. [5] Besides, as with other yeasts, the concentration of fermentable sugar in a product affects the rate of spoilage by Z. bailii, e.g. the yeast grows faster in the presence of 10% (w/w) than 1% (w/w ...

  5. Lactase persistence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactase_persistence

    Lactose solution is then given to the subjects to drink, and blood glucose levels are checked at 20 minute intervals for an hour. The subjects who show a substantial rise in their blood glucose level are considered lactose tolerant. [22] A hydrogen breath test is often used to detect lactose intolerance. [citation needed]

  6. Candida (fungus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candida_(fungus)

    Candida albicans is one of the most commonly isolated species and can cause infections (candidiasis or thrush) in humans and other animals. In winemaking, some species of Candida can potentially spoil wines. [4] Many species are found in gut flora, including C. albicans in mammalian hosts, whereas others live as endosymbionts in insects.

  7. Fungemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungemia

    Fungemia is the presence of fungi or yeast in the blood. The most common type, also known as candidemia , candedemia , or systemic candidiasis , is caused by Candida species. Candidemia is also among the most common bloodstream infections of any kind. [ 1 ]

  8. Candida albicans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candida_albicans

    Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast [5] that is a common member of the human gut flora.It can also survive outside the human body. [6] [7] It is detected in the gastrointestinal tract and mouth in 40–60% of healthy adults.

  9. Lactic acid fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactic_acid_fermentation

    In lactose intolerant people, the fermentation of lactose to lactic acid has been shown in small studies to help lactose intolerant people. The process of fermentation limits the amount of lactose available. With the amount of lactose lowered, there is less build up inside of the body, reducing bloating.
