Lactose, naturally present in milk, can cause digestive discomfort. Delactosed milk is currently the only one alternative to cow's milk for intolerant people. As some of them do not digest milk, it was completely remove from their diet. However, are they really intolerant to lactose or intolerant to milk (or to another of its compounds)? Do β-caseins play a role in this intolerance? β-caseins are proteins naturally present in milk. Two types of β-caseins were identified: A1 and A2. These types differ according to the genetic profile of the cow and depend on the breed. The rare clinical studies interested in this topic suggest that:
Thus, it would be interesting to be able to assess the effect of a consumption of A2A2 milk type compared to A1A2 milk type, both on the parameters of digestive comfort and on inflammatory parameters.
The study will be carried out on healthy volunteers, aged 18 to 65 and self-declared sensitive, even intolerant to the consumption of milk.
The main objective of the study is to assess the impact of milk β-caseins (A2A2 vs A1A2) on the digestive comfort felt during the consumption of milk in subjects declaring that they do not tolerate milk.

|---|---|---|---|
| Milk A1A2 | Other | Group (A1 → A2) receiving control milk A1A2 in period 1 then the milk evaluated A2A2 in period 2 |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group (A1 → A2) | Other | Before each start of consumption of the products under study, a wash-out period of 2 weeks (no consumption of milk) must be observed by the subjects. 25 subjects will consume A1A2 milk for 2 weeks (period 1), then they will consume A2A2 milk for 2 weeks (period 2). During each consumption period, various questionnaires will be completed by the subjects: frequency and consistency of stool, analog visual scales on digestive comfort and dietary surveys. Stool collections will also be carried out. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Analog visual scales | Digestive comfort will be assessed daily by the average of the following analog visual scales (score : 0 to 10), completed within 30 min to 3 hours after consumption of the daily dose of milk, depending on the usual occurrence of symptoms in individuals:
The average of these 6 analog visual scales, called Global Digestive Discomfort (IDG), will therefore be available every day for 14 days; the final variable analyzed will be the average of these 14 IDG values, and will be called Global Average Digestive Discomfort (IDGM). | 4 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Analysis of the average per period of each analog visual scales independently | The analogue visual scales will be completed daily during each period of milk consumption (4 weeks) | 4 weeks |
| Difference Calprotectin at the end of the period - Calprotectin at V0 (measured in mg/kg) |

| 4 weeks |
| For each of the inflammatory markers (CRP us, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6) : difference between value at the end of the period and value at V0 | Blood samples are taken during inclusion visits, V1 follow-up and V3 end of study. All of the inflammatory markers are measured in pg/ml. | 4 weeks |
| Average stool frequencies and consistencies | This questionnaires will be completed daily during each period of milk consumption (4 weeks). Bristol scale: stool type 1 (separate hard balls) to stool type 7 (watery, structureless stools) | 4 weeks |
