ABSTRACT
Lactose intolerance is a condition causing an inability to absorb and digest lactose leading to gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flatulence. Because of the similarities between lactose intolerance and cow's milk allergy, it is becoming necessary to increase physicians' understanding of these two diseases. Consequently, we aimed to determine the level of knowledge of lactose intolerance and cow's milk allergy among medical students. An electronic survey was distributed to 399 medical students at two universities in Saudi Arabia from October to November 2022. The majority of the respondents had an inadequate knowledge of both lactose intolerance and cow's milk allergy (99.75% and 97.99%, respectively). According to the study's results that showed a lack of awareness among health-related students, further studies and awareness programs are highly recommended.
