Yes, prunes contain no lactose. Lactose is only found in milk and milk products.
Soy milk is said to be good for people that are lactose or dairy free. However, soy milk is also said to contribute to digestive problems for some people.
Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk. This allows lactose intolerant individuals to drink the lactose free (or reduced lactose) milk.
Lactose free products are NOT the same as dairy free products. If an acidophilus supplement is called lactose free it means it does not do not contain any milk sugar, but it may contain isolated, lactose-free milk protein - so it would NOT be dairy free. A dairy free probiotic means it does not contain either lactose (milk sugars) or milk proteins.
Milk naturally contains the sugar lactose. Lactose-free milk is made by 'pre-digesting' the lactose in the milk. This is done by adding the enzyme lactase to the milk. The enzyme breaks down the lactose and people who can't digest lactose properly (lactose intolerance) can drink the milk without side-effects.
There are many alternatices: coconut milk, oat milk, lactose free milk, almond milk, soya milk.
I'm lactose intolerant and you can drink lactose free milk, or soy milk like "Silk", also goats milk is good but i hear it doesnt taste that great, just check your local grocery store and they will have a section of lactose free milk products
Powdered milk does contain lactose. It is a sugar found in milk and other products. However, there are powdered milk products on the market that are lactose-free. You need to look at the product label to make sure it does not have this ingredient.
No. The lactose is broken down into it's components, glucose and galactose.
Nonfat milk contains lactose. Lactose is the naturally occurring sugar in milk. The only milk that does not contain lactose is labeled 'lactose free' and is available in full fat, reduced fat, and nonfat.
