How can the presence of lactase in food products benefit individuals with lactose intolerance?

The presence of lactase in food products can benefit individuals with lactose intolerance by helping them digest lactose, the sugar found in dairy products. Lactase breaks down lactose into simpler sugars that are easier for the body to absorb, reducing symptoms like bloating, gas, and diarrhea that occur when lactose intolerant individuals consume dairy products.
