Quick Facts

Who's affected?
Lactose intolerance affects
all sectors of the popul a tion,
including 70 percent of
world Jewry.

What foods should be
avoided?
Unlike an allergic reaction,
the offending dairy foods
can be eaten when neces-
sary precautions are taken,
like:
• Limiting the amount of
dairy foods at any one sit-
ting.
• Switching to different
dairy foods such as yogurt
with active yeast.
• Using digestive supple-
ments that make dairy
foods easier to digest.

What are the symptoms?
Common symptoms are
stomach pain, gas, bloating
and diarrhea.

tures help digest the milk sug-
ar. A recent study at the Johns
Hopkins Medical Institutions
found that children who have
trouble digesting lactose are bet-
ter able to digest yogurt. Low-
er-lactose yogurts have "active
cultures" stated on their labels.
However, lactose intolerant
people should be aware that
milk isn't the only culprit. Dr.
Perman of Johns Hopkins cau-
tioned, "Lactose is found in
more products than just dairy
products. Milk and milk solids
are part of condiments and
baked goods. They are also used
extensively by pharmaceuticals
in prescription drugs."
A number of specially treat-
ed dairy products developed for
the lactose intolerant popula-
tion make it possible for them
to have their cereal with milk.
Most grocery stores now carry
lactose-reduced nonfat and low-
fat milks that contain 70 per-
cent less lactose than regular
milk. They have the same
amount of calcium and nutri-
ents. The only hitch is that
these products have a sweeter
taste than regular milk because
the lactose has already been
broken down into glucose and
galactose.
Many people also use lactase
supplements and nonprescrip-
tion liquids or pills which, when
mixed with milk, can cut its lac-
tose level by 70 percent and
more. However, this method
isn't always convenient because
the milk must sit for 24 hours
before being consumed. On the
