Dealing with lactose intolerance can be easy

2. Keep track of how much lactose you’re eating
Some people with lactose intolerance can eat a little bit of dairy — especially when it’s combined with other foods. Jot down notes when you eat dairy products — how much, what kind, and with what else — to help you determine how tolerant your body is.
3. Try LACTAID® lactose-free dairy products
LACTAID® products are enriched with lactase, so you can enjoy the real, natural dairy products you love — with all the vitamins and nutrients they contain, but without the discomfort. Because life is better when you can eat well.
4. Use lactase supplements to stop dairy discomfort before it starts
Lactase supplements provide that important enzyme you need to digest the lactose in dairy. Simply take a LACTAID® supplement along with the first bite or sip of food; if the meal lasts longer than 45 minutes, take another. It's the perfect treatment while you're on the go!*
