You love dairy. Your lactose intolerance? Not so much. But your love affair with dairy is far from over— there’s a whole world of lactose-free options waiting for you!
Fun and lactose-free
Your dairy days are far from over. Get going with lactose-free options.
What’s lactose intolerance? It’s when the body can’t digest lactose, a natural sugar found in milk. And if you have an intolerance, dairy with lactose can stop you in your tracks. But your love of dairy doesn’t need to hit a dead-end! A lot of dairy products are naturally low in lactose — products like natural cheese, and fermented products like yogurt and kefir. There’s also lactose-free milk — it’s just like regular milk, but with an added enzyme that breaks lactose down before it gets to your gut. Pretty cool, huh?
Fun Facts
-
Lactose intolerance is NOT the same as a milk allergy! Intolerance= not being able to digest lactose sugar. Allergy= a reaction to milk protein. It's a big difference!
-
Good news: most natural cheeses are low in lactose — during the cheese-making process, the lactose is separated with the whey. The drier the cheese, the less lactose there is. So next time you’re eyeing that charcuterie board, help yourself to a low-moisture cheese like cheddar or gouda!

Did you know lactose can actually help you digest your food? Ever since you were a baby, your body has taken a portion of lactose from the foods you eat and used it to cultivate and feed the healthy bacteria in your gut!
