5 TIPS TO MANAGE LACTOSE INTOLERANCE WITH DAIRY FOODS:
- Slice or cube natural cheeses, such as mozzarella, cheddar, Colby, Monterey Jack and Swiss, which are low in lactose.
- Try lactose-free milk and other lactose-free dairy foods.
- Enjoy yogurt, which contains friendly bacteria to help break down lactose.
- Sip a small amount of milk and slowly increase to an amount that doesn’t cause stomach upset.
- Eat dairy foods with other foods or with a meal, to help slow digestion of lactose.
