      According to research, three out of four Indians are lactose intolerant but most of us are not even aware about the concept of lactose intolerance, despite suffering from it for years.

      What is lactose intolerance?

      Lactose intolerance is a common digestive disorder where the body cannot properly digest lactose, a type of sugar found in animal milk and dairy products. This occurs due to a deficiency in lactase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose in the digestive system.

      Symptoms of lactose intolerance

      Bloating: Feeling swollen or full in the abdomen.
      Diarrhea:
      Loose, watery stools.
      Gas:
      Excessive flatulence.
      Stomach cramps:
      Pain or discomfort in the abdomen.
      Nausea:
      Feeling sick to the stomach, sometimes leading to vomiting.

      Precautions for people who are lactose intolerant

      Limit Dairy Intake: Reduce or eliminate consumption of milk and dairy products. Opt for lactose-free or low-lactose versions of dairy products.

      Lactase Supplements: Use lactase enzyme supplements before consuming dairy. These supplements can help break down lactose and reduce symptoms.

      Choose Lactose-Free Products: Look for lactose-free milk, cheese, and yogurt, which are specifically processed to remove or reduce lactose content.

      Try Plant-Based Alternatives: Use plant-based milk alternatives such as almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or rice milk. These are naturally lactose-free.
