Question: How can I manage lactose intolerance with diet?
Answer: Experiment with your diet to find out what your personal lactose threshold is. Some people find they can tolerate certain dairy foods in certain amounts, or when combined with other foods. Begin with a lactose-free diet, then gradually reintroduce lactose-containing foods to see how your system responds.
Some people with lactose intolerance can tolerate up to 12 grams (g) of lactose at one time, which is a cup of milk or a scoop of ice cream. You can also find lactose-reduced and lactose-free versions of most dairy products at the supermarket. Experiment with these and other dairy alternatives in your diet.
