There is OTC medications such as Lactaid and there is also a Walmart brand but be careful with these. Don't know why but my daughters intolerance got much worse after taking some of these products. Worked pretty well in the beginning but now we just have to stay away from milk completely and she purchases the soy products.
Im lactose intolerant but I suppose over 4 years? Not sure but Ive been like this for like 3 and a half years? And when your lactose intolerant, you cannot have any dairy product but lactose milk can cure sooner. And probably a few years later you don't feel like not having cheese anymore. So you eat it. And you might get sick a little but its alright. I lose weight almost everyday while being lactose intolerant (Sometimes) But since Im lactose intolerant I started to learn more about it since Im going through it!
Dogs can be lactose intolerant, usually it's best to avoid all human foods entirely.
By reducing or eliminating dairy products in the diet. Many people can have small amounts of dairy products without bad effects, so if they are careful they don't have to cut them out altogether. Some people just have to cut it out altogether, or take something. There are over the counter supplememts that can help, too, if you take them when you know you will be eating some dairy. There are milk products you can get that have most or all of the lactose removed, but read the labels carefully. Sometimes the "substitute" has as much lactose as the real thing.
silk vanilla soy milk. bunnies are commonly known as being lactose intolerant and strictly choose vanilla over chocolate.
Yogurt is made by adding a bacterial culture that eats lactose, excreting lactic acid. With the lactose already removed, the yogurt is fully digestible by lactose intolerant people with no bad reactions. The lactic acid simply makes it taste sour and that is usually covered over with fruit if you don't like it.
Ferrets are lactose intolerant and cannot digest any dairy products. Dairy products such as milk can cause loose stools or diarrhea in ferrets. Advise from another contributor: we have five ferrets and have done quite a bit of research over the years, and i read on a few occasions that ferrets are lactose intolerant and therefore it is not good to give them milk as it can give them diarrhea. we also learned this as we gave one a small amount of milk and he had diarrhea. poor little thing.
I would advise against the ice cream if you're lactose intolerant...unless you don't mind the terrible stomach pain accompanied by gas. If you choose to eat ice cream, drink milk and etc. you might want to try taking a lactaid tablet before you do.
No, they are smarter than Humans that way. But since most cats are Lactose intolerant as adults they get ill, and throw up all over.
Gassey foods (beans, potatoes, cabbage) or even milk if you're lactose intolerant,
You should feed your cat water over milk. Many cats are lactose intolerant (they cannot digest it properly) so can get sick from ingesting it. Goats milk, or specially formulated cat milk do not have lactose in so are perfectly safe.
I believe that it is goats milk cheese they can eat without a problem Goats milk contains low fat and milk sugar. Actually, goat cheeses do have less lactose but so do Swiss and Cheddar. The older the cheese (and therefore most likely harder) the less lactose that survives. Any cheese has less lactose with age but the cheeses above have less as a class. Cottage cheese, Velveeta and other soft, especially processed, cheeses have the most lactose
Lactase taken at the start of the meal allows you to eat all the dairy you want without the gas or cramps associated with lactose intolerance. Tums would only be useful as a calcium supplement it does nothing for the stomach cramp that come from lactose intolerance. I developed lactose intolerance over that last couple years and have had symptoms from extra gas to cramps that last all day. Tums did not help at all. Now that I take lactase with a meal containing dairy I can gorge on pizza without the slightest hint of gas or stomach rumbling. Lactase enzyme is a inexpensive over the counter supplement available at the pharmacy. They are easily the best choice we have compare to cramps, forgoing dairy or buying the more expensive lactose free products.
