If you have Lactose Intolerance - What to Eat


If you have Lactose Intolerance - What to Eat

drink smaller quantities of milk at one time
drink milk with meals
use Lactaid (an enzyme to help digest lactose in dairy) every time when you eat dairy
use special milk products such as Lacteeze or other "Lactose-free milk" in which the lactose is reduced by 99%. Some "lactose-reduced" milk products have lactose partially reduced- so be sure to read the labels
For infants with lactose intolerance, try Lactose-free infant formulas
try calcium-fortified soy milk to ensure adequate calcium intake
also try calcium-fortified orange juice if you are concerned about calcium
some dairy products are naturally low in lactose such as swiss cheese and cottage cheese
many commercial products contain lactose. If the ingredient list contains the following ingredients, it has lactose. Ingredients include whey, curds, milk by-products, dry milk solids, and nonfat dry milk powder
