*Lactose intolerant*“Lactose intolerance is a common digestive problem where the body is unable to digest lactose, a type of sugar mainly found in

milk and dairy products”Symptoms of lactose intolerance include:

- flatulence (wind)- diarrhea

- bloated stomachThese symptoms usually develop within a few hours of

consuming food or drink that contains lactose.

*Lactose intolerant*Lactose intolerance

Can effect diet due to:1- Having to eat non lactose diet 2- If a person does not replace specific nutrients with other productsthey will become malnourished. 3)- Calcium deficient 4)- Rickets and osteoporosis

Lactose intolerant will effect a persons diet in many way:

1. A person will have to eliminate lactose in their diet (Ice cream,

chocolate, cheese, mayo, and cake) These are high in calcium so a person is at risk of becoming

malnourished and calcium deficient.

2. Need to take calcium supplements

Diabetes There are two main types of

diabetes – type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is far more common than type 1. In the UK, around 90% of all adults with

diabetes have type 2.

How does it affect a person’s diet?- Diabetes

A person should have a dietician

Allergy While any food can cause an adverse reaction, eight types

of food account for about 90 percent of all reactions:EggsMilk

PeanutsTree nuts

FishShellfishWheat

Allergy The primary way to manage a food

allergy is to avoid consuming the food that causes you problems. Carefully

check ingredient labels of food products, and learn whether what you need to

avoid is known by other names.This can cause a person to become Deficient in a specific food group.

Loss of ability to feed independentlyA person may be unable to feed themselves

independently, either throughout their lives, or following accident, leading to being paralysed.

Specialised cutlery Having a carer to feed

Food tubes Can’t swallow without choking (powdered drinks

that make them thicker) Can’t chew (Liquidised foo)

Loss of ability to feed independentlyHow do these change diet choices of an

individual?2-Having a carer to feed- Eat specific foods that

someone else cooks and feeds you.3- Food tubes- Constant supply of food, no

choice of food or preferred time4- Can’t swallow without choking (powdered

drinks that make them thicker) – Having specially made 5- drinks that are thick to

prevent choking. Eating foods that won’t cause choking.

6- Can’t chew (Liquidised food)- To have no solid foods.

Eliminating specific food choices from diet such as:Dairy (due to being lactose intolerant)

Nuts (Allergy)

Not replacing the food group with alternatives can cause malnutrition.

Eliminating diary products (High in calcium)= Not replacing calcium rich foods causing deficiency in calcium.

Nuts= Not having other sauces of protein can cause deficiency.
