Lactose Intolerance

Some people suffer from what is knows as lactose intolerance. For those who do not know what this is a condition where the body does not produce the enzyme lactase, which is responsible for breaking down the sugar known as lactose. It is not an allergy. It just means that you stomach does not know how to digest lactose. The people who are lactose intolerant, they cannot consume milk and other dairy products without feeling ill afterward. What do these people do if they cannot drink milk?

The answer is simple, lactaid milk. Lactaid milk is milk that has had the lactose, milk sugar, removed. Some people cannot digest lactose so they have to drink milk without lactose if they want to drink milk. You can get pretty much any type of dairy product these days that contain lactaid milk for those people who suffer from lactose intolerance. Hood offers many flavors of lactaid milk as well as lactaid ice cream.

  1. I thought people could just take pills if they were lactose intolerant and be able to drink milk

  2. I'm lactose intolerant but I can still drink milk just not a lot, it sucks but i love milk to much to give it up, plus that lactaid stuff is no substitute.

  3. I wonder what lactaid would taste like with no lactose in it? Milk is too good to pass up, you can't replace it
