Dark chocolate, which contains no dairy whatsoever is fine for people with lactose intolerance.

Try to make it a dark chocolate which has at least 70% cocoa (this means it is higher in vital antioxidants) and make sure it is organic, as it is better for you. Another added benefit for dark chocolate is that it has slightly less calories than milk chocolate.

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!

Can you eat cheez-its if you're lactose intolerant?

Asked by Wiki User

Honestly, it depends on how bad your lactose intolerance is.

For example, mine isn't too bad. I can't eat milk or ice cream, but cheese has never bothered me.

If you can eat even just a tiny bit of cheese, you can eat cheez-its. They are made with cheese, but most of it is just a cracker - there isn't all that much cheese. However, if even the tiniest bite of cheese makes you sick, you're going to have to avoid cheez-its.

Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose. Lactose intolerance happens when the small intestine does not make enough of the enzyme lactase. Enzymes help the body absorb foods. Not having enough lactase is called lactase deficiency.
