But, it doesn't stop there as lactose is added in many store-bought products such as some salad dressings, candy, cookies, biscuits, breads, and other baked goods, lunch meat, packaged rice mixes, instant potato mixes, and other such packaged mixes. Check the labels carefully and look for the words lactose, whey,dry milk, dry milk solids, or milk by-product. Lactose can also be found in some prescription drugs, so you might need to be careful there too. Your doctor or healthcare professional can perform a simple test to find out if you are lactose intolerant, and if you are, don't be alarmed. While the actual condition cannot be treated, you can make the necessary changes in your diet to help relieve the uncomfortable symptoms associated with lactose intolerance.
Different people can tolerate different amounts of lactose levels in their bodies.
So, while some people are forced to eliminate lactose from their diets completely, others can simply reduce the amount of lactose they consume and still be free from the problems and symptoms associated with lactose intolerance. Some aids are in the form of a tablet which you take along with the dairy food you are going to eat. Inc. PageWise makes no representations about the content published on this site.
