Lactose intolerance is a common condition that affects around 20% of adults in the UK. It's a genetic disorder that means the body can't digest lactose, which is the sugar in milk. This can lead to bloating, diarrhea, and a feeling of discomfort. It's usually treated with a lactose-free diet, but there are some ways to cope with lactose intolerance that doesn't involve cutting out milk. Here are some tips: -If you have lactose intolerance, try to avoid drinking milk or eating foods that contain milk, dairy products, or milk products. Some people with lactose intolerance can drink lactose-free milk, yogurt, or other dairy products. -Some people with lactose intolerance can eat foods that contain lactose, but they need to adjust the amount of lactose in those foods. This means that some people with lactose intolerance can eat foods like ice cream or cheese, but they need to be careful not to eat too much. -People with lactose intolerance can also take supplements that contain lactase, which are enzymes that help the body break down lactose. -Some people with lactose intolerance can also use lactose-free products like toothpaste, shampoo, and soap. -If you have lactose intolerance and you drink milk, you can try to warm the milk before drinking it. This will help the body to digest the milk.
