Lactose intolerance is not exactly a disease, so its cure is made possible from a food reorientation.
Food reorientation consists of reduction or restriction of milk intake and milk (cheese, butter, yogurts, condensed milk, cream, etc.) and foods that contain milk (cake, ice cream, cheese bread, etc.) in their production, associated with food replacements with nutrients and proteins needed daily.
Another option available in the market is the enzyme lactase (capsule or drops) capable of facilitating the absorption of lactose and thereby reducing the symptoms caused by intolerance. Added to milk and after 24 hours of refrigeration in the refrigerator, the mixture can be used for drinking or in the manufacture of foods that use milk in the recipe.
The new diet should contain foods that offer nutrients such as calcium and vitamin D that one should ingest daily.
The doctor gastroenterologist as well as the clinical / general and family doctor are able to make the appropriate diagnosis of lactose intolerance and, together with the nutritionist, guide the diet and foods that will reduce the symptoms and provide an adequate quality of life for the patient.
