Different people react to lactose intolerance. Some people may be able to tolerate some small amounts of dairy products. Some though could not tolerate lactose at all. Therefore, you need to consult your doctor and dietician so they can assess you with the right lactose intolerance diet that will be suitable for your health. There are basically two kinds of diets for lactose-intolerant people – the low lactose diet and the lactose-free diet. If your doctor recommends the low lactose diet, you can actually drink milk in small amounts only like 2 oz. Throughout the day. It can also be a small part of your meal. On the other hand, if your doctor requires you to live on a lactose-free diet, that means you need to avoid all products containing lactose. You may need to prepare your own meals because you need to stay away from commercially packaged meals with milk or any dairy products. You should also review the contents of every food item you buy.
