This is a very interesting discussion. It has been my understanding that low fat
milk or hindmilk causes a relative overload of lactose and that the lactase
can't cope with that at one time and that therefor there is undigested lactose
in the gut, free for use for gasing bacteria and co.
Now are we talking the same in different wordings or is this really different?
