Why lactose food checker matters
Lactose is the natural sugar in milk and dairy products. People with lactose intolerance lack sufficient lactase enzyme to digest it, leading to bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort after consuming dairy.
- Try lactose-free dairy products - they're real dairy with lactase added
- Hard aged cheeses are naturally lower in lactose
- Lactase enzyme supplements can help when eating dairy
