  2. Can You Overcome Lactose Intolerance

    Organizing and summarizing search results for you
    Lactose intolerance cannot be cured, but its symptoms can be managed through diet changes. Here are some tips for dealing with lactose intolerance:
    hopkinsmedicine.org+1
    • Choose lactose-reduced or lactose-free milk.
    • Take a lactase enzyme supplement (such as Lactaid) just before you eat dairy products.
    • When you do drink milk or eat lactose-containing foods, eat other non-lactose foods at the same meal to slow digestion and avoid problems.
    • Drink juices that are fortified with calcium.
      In people with lactose intolerance caused by an underlying condition, treating the condition might restore the body's ability to digest lactose, although that process can take months. Drinking milk can also help cure lactose intolerance by changing the microflora in your gut.
