What is lacked toss n tolerant?
I think you mean "lactose intolerant."Lactose is milk sugar. All small babies can digest lactose, but many people lose their ability to digest it as they get older--that is why they get sick from drinking milk. People who can still digest milk sugar as adults are "lactose tolerant"; people who cannot digest it are "lactose intolerant."

Why is cheese hard to digest?
Cheese is not always hard to digest and some people digest it quite easily, however, there are two possible problems relating to cheese. First of all, since it is made from milk, some cheeses contain large amounts of the milk sugar lactose, and many people have trouble digesting lactose (a condition called lactose intolerance). Second, cheese also contains a protein which has the effect of binding, or hardening fecal matter while it is in the large intestine, which can result in constipation.

Can milk be non-lactose?
Milk naturally contains the sugar lactose. Lactose-free milk is made by 'pre-digesting' the lactose in the milk. This is done by adding the enzyme lactase to the milk. The enzyme breaks down the lactose and people who can't digest lactose properly (lactose intolerance) can drink the milk without side-effects.
What might be an effect of the decrease in their production of lactase?
Their bodies cannot digest as much lactose as other people's bodies.
What is a Lactose intolerance?
