ALTERNATIVES TO LACTOSE-CONTAINING PRODUCTS

These products may be easier to digest for lactose intolerant people:
  • Buttermilk and cheeses (they contain less lactose than milk)
  • Fermented milk products e.g. yogurt etc.
  • Goat's milk (drink it with meals; make sure it is taken together with essential amino acids and vitamins if it is for children)
  • Ice cream, milkshakes, and aged or hard cheeses
  • Lactose-free milk and milk products
  • Lactase-treated cow's milk. For example, Lactaid. (for older children and adults)
  • Soy formulas (for infants younger than 2 years)
  • Soy or rice milk (for toddlers)
