For many people drinking a glass of milk means intestinal bloating and gas. With a little work this problem can go away.
Lactose intolerance affects many people.
Asians, Native, and African Americans are affected the most. Lactose is the sugar in milk and intolerance occurs when the sugar cannot be digested. Most people can consume small amounts of lactose without discomfort. Learn your tolerance by trying one fourth a cup of milk and gradually increasing your intake. When lactose rich foods are a part of a meal the lactose causes fewer problems.
