Discuss each of the following topics. Be sure to provide your references/resources in APA style formatting.



Case Study 1:Myeshia, a 19-year-old female, recently read about the health benefits of calcium and decided to increase her intake of dairy products by drinking milk. Not long afterward, she experienced bloating, cramping, and gassiness. She suspected that the source of this discomfort was the milk she consumed, especially because her parents and sister had complained of the same problem. She wanted to determine if the milk was, in fact, the cause of her gastrointestinal discomfort, so the next day she substituted yogurt for the milk in her diet. Subsequently, she did not have any symptoms. What component of milk likely causes the problem? Why was she able to tolerate yogurt but not milk?




Case Study 2:Marc and Dan are twins who like the same activities, and foods. At a recent doctor's appointment, Dan was told that he has type 2 diabetes.

Topic 3:Describe what the glycemic index is and how this is very important in developing a nutritional diet.

The case study provides evidence that Myeshia is lactose intolerant which causes her bloating, cramping and gassiness. The components of milk are caseinates, whey, lactose and lactase. Lactose intolerance is caused when the small intestine does not produce the adequate enzyme for digestion of sugar in the form of lactose in the milk (Bayless, Brown & Paige, 2017). Yoghurt, on the contrary, is full of nutrients with less presence of lactose and more good bacteria and amino acids which assist in the...
