Sensible Ideas for Lactose-Sensitive People:

• Eat smaller servings of dairy products with a meal, rather than on an empty stomach.
• Choose fermented milk products, such as yogurt, which contain live and active cultures that break down lactose.
• Choose aged natural cheeses, such as cheddar and Colby, which have almost no lactose.
• Read ingredient lists on food labels.
• Ask a physician or dietitian to help determine the amount of lactose per meal that is acceptable for you.
