Facts about lactose intolerance

People who are lactose intolerant have a hard time digesting the sugar (called lactose) that is naturally found in milk and may experience discomfort after consuming dairy foods.

Stomach aches, bloating or gassiness can have many different causes. Your doctor can help you find out if you are lactose intolerant or if your digestive discomfort is caused by something else.

Your body makes an enzyme called lactase to help digest the lactose in milk. As an adult, your body may be making less of this enzyme than it used to. Most people can continue to eat dairy foods by following steps, such as drinking lactose-free milk, enjoying small amounts of milk with meals or trying dairy foods lower in lactose, like natural cheeses.

Lactose intolerance is a very individual condition.

Being lactose intolerant is not the same as having a milk allergy. A milk allergy is caused by a reaction to the protein in milk. This is different from lactose intolerance, which occurs when your body has a hard time digesting the natural sugar (or carbohydrate) in milk.

While people with milk allergies must avoid dairy, avoidance is not necessary for those who are lactose intolerant.

Nutrition experts advise that you still try to eat dairy foods to best meet your nutrient recommendations. The dairy food group (milk, cheese and yogurt) provides key nutrients, such as calcium, potassium and vitamin D.

It’s difficult to get enough of these nutrients without dairy foods in your diet.

Lactose intolerance is less common in young children. If you think your child has lactose intolerance, talk to your family doctor, child’s pediatrician or a dietitian.
