The person who has lactose intolerance should avoid milk and milk products in addition to foods made from milk: cake, cheese bread, pudding, butter, cheese, yogurt, curd cheese, ice cream, condensed milk, sour cream.
The limit of tolerance to lactose is variable from person to person, so the attitude of partially or completely restricting the diet is particular. After the diagnosis of intolerance, it is possible to opt initially for the restrictive diet, removing all the milk and derivatives and, little by little, introduce these foods until reaching the limit of tolerance and the non-manifestation of the symptoms.
We must pay attention to the product labels, since even if they apparently do not come from milk, they can present milk as an ingredient in the manufacture.
There is available for purchase from enzyme lactase (in capsule or drops) capable of facilitating the absorption of lactose and thus reducing the symptoms caused by intolerance. Added to milk and after 24 hours of refrigeration in the refrigerator, the mixture can be used to drink or to make foods that carry milk in the recipe.
THE diet It should be well varied with fruits, dark green leafy vegetables and nuts to contemplate nutrients such as calcium and the D vitamin.
a nutritional monitoring at least in the phase of adaptation to the new diet is indicated.
