Marsha, What is gtts? Transient lactose intolerance is a condition where the brush border of the intestine is injured, destroyed, or sloughed due to an infection or even radiation damage, and needs time to regenerate. The lactase is produced by cells in the brush border, and therefore a broken down brush border means a deficiency of lactase. -- Catherine Watson Genna, IBCLC New York City mailto:[log in to unmask] *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
