Best Answer

Cheese is not always hard to digest and some people digest it quite easily, however, there are two possible problems relating to cheese. First of all, since it is made from milk, some cheeses contain large amounts of the milk sugar lactose, and many people have trouble digesting lactose (a condition called lactose intolerance). Second, cheese also contains a protein which has the effect of binding, or hardening fecal matter while it is in the large intestine, which can result in constipation.

Hardest food for a human to digest?

There are a few top contenders, but it is suspected that the hardest food for a human to digest is bread. In order to digest food, enzymes are needed, which are secreted by the pancreas. Because bread has no naturally occurring enzymes (unlike a lot of other food) the pancreas has to work exceptionally hard, producing extra enzymes to break down the bread. Other food products that are hard to digest include pork, beans, broccoli and whole-milk hard cheese.
