Abstract

Lactose intolerance is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, which is why it requires early diagnosis and treatment. Previous studies have shown that the presence of reducing sugars accompanied by an acid pH in feces are indicative results of lactose intolerance. That is why this research project had the objective of identifying the percentage of students with lactose intolerance in students of Initial II and First of Basic of the Educational Unit "19 de Septiembre" through the test of reducing sugars and pH in feces. Obtaining as a result that 100% of the population under study, 20% suffer from lactose intolerance.
