Are you Experiencing bloating , nausea , diarrhoea or gas after consuming milk or dairy products ? Well , your gut may not be too happy being home to all that lactose !

Lactose intolerance is a reaction in your digestive system to lactose , the sugar in milk . Lactose intolerance occurs in people who lack the enzyme they need to break down lactose , the sugar in milk . It causes digestive distress when you eat dairy products . Lactose intolerance does not mean having an allergy to milk or milk products . You just need to be mindful of the kind of milk that you are consuming ! Individuals with lactose intolerance could eat or drink at least 12 g of lactose (the amount of lactose in 1 cup of milk) without symptoms or with only minor symptoms .

You may avoid the discomfort of lactose intolerance by following a low-lactose diet . To lower the amount of lactose in your diet ;

1 Limit milk and other dairy products .

2 Include small servings of dairy products in your regular meals .

3 Eat and drink lactose-reduced ice cream and milk .

4 Add a liquid or powder lactase enzyme to milk to break down the lactose .
