Abstract:
Lactic acid is the end-product of anaerobic glycolysis. It is generally believed that elevated blood lactate levels are associated with poor patient outcomes. Literature reports that lactic acidosis can be related to supplementary food intake in the pediatric age group however, in adult patients, it is not common to see lactic acidosis due to oral ingestion unless the patient has a history of short bowel syndrome or jejunoileal bypass surgery. With the current case presentation, we report an accidental cheese starter culture intake that resulted in resistant lactic acidosis with no signs of critical illnesses.
