Foods to avoid


People with Lactose Intolerance cannot consume foods or drinks that contain lactose. Lactose is most commonly found in milk. Milk and dairy products have a source of lactose in it. People who are allergic may feel the following symptoms: Abdominal bloating, cramps, diarrhea, gas (flatulences), and nausea. Here are some food items that have lactose in them. Milk (Condensed or evaporated), processed cheeses, ice cream, and sour cream. Some alternatives while still obtaining the beneficial nutrients could be by calcium supplements, calcium enriched orange juice, soy milk, and fish. A lot of these can avoid the affects of lactose intolerance. On a side note yogurt can usually be digested properly and will not cause problems for a person with lactose intolerance.
