Dairy Products for Lactose Intolerance
Eat Confidently With Lactose-Free Dairy Products
Because of the many lactose-free dairy options, lactose intolerance does not have to mean dairy avoidance.
Lactose intolerance is a very individualized condition. There are often many ways for those with lactose intolerance or showing lactose intolerance symptoms to keep the great taste and nutritional benefits of dairy foods (milk, cheese and yogurt) in their diet, like starting with lactose-free dairy foods and choosing foods with minimal amounts of lactose. For example, lactose-free milk is real milk without lactose. Natural cheeses such as Cheddar, Colby, Monterey Jack, Mozzarella and Swiss contain minimal amounts of lactose. Shred them onto veggies, pastas and salads. Yogurt is another option. Its live and active cultures help to digest lactose.
Dairy companies recognize that people want solutions to address lactose intolerance and are creating new lactose-free milk and milk products to meet their needs. These are real, great-tasting products that can help you keep nutrient-rich dairy in your diet.
