Dairy foods are key ingredients in many at-home meals – provide nutrients for people of all ages to maintain strong bodies and minds. However, some bodies are unable to break down the sugar found in milk, known as lactose, which causes an upset stomach and bloated feeling.
Even so, people with lactose intolerance can enjoy real dairy products that are naturally low in or don’t contain lactose, such as:
• Lactose-free milk, which is real milk with the same 13 essential nutrients as regular milk
• Hard and aged cheeses, such as cheddar, colby, Monterey Jack, Parmesan and Swiss
• Yogurt with live and active cultures, which make lactose easier to digest.
