Question: What foods trigger lactose intolerance symptoms?
Answer: Lactose is in most dairy products unless it’s been removed. That includes cow’s milk and goat’s milk products. There’s more in some types than others. For example, fresh milk and cream are higher in lactose, while hard cheeses have less. You might be OK with a sprinkling of parmesan on your salad.
On the other hand, if you’re very sensitive to lactose, you might react to even small amounts. Check nutrition labels and ingredient lists on food. Lactose is often added to processed foods, including soups, salad dressings and snack foods. It may even be added to your prescription medications.
