[quote=Anonymous][quote]Having lactose intolerance doesn't mean saying goodbye to dairy forever. Some dairy foods are easier to digest than others, including yogurt and aged cheese. Lactose-intolerant people vary in how much lactose they can tolerate, but dairy and aged cheese are easier to digest because processing has already broken down some of the lactose. If you take supplemental lactase, which is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, you can generally enjoy these foods and other dairy products without experiencing the unpleasant side effects.

Yogurt and Cheese
If you're lactose intolerant and looking for yogurt, go Greek. Greek yogurt, which is thicker because much of the whey, the watery part of milk, has been strained out in processing. This also removes much of the lactose. Greek yogurt supplies less than 6.8 grams of lactose per 6-ounce serving, compared to less than 8.5 grams in whole-fat yogurt or 14 grams in non-fat yogurt. Hard cheeses such as cheddar have even less lactose, between 0 to 2 grams per ounce. Milk, in comparison, has approximately 11 grams in one cup.
Tolerance
You might experience symptoms of lactose intolerance to a different degree than another lactose-intolerant person. This happens because many people still produce a small amount of lactase; if they keep dairy consumption to a minimum, they may experience few symptoms. Many lactose-intolerant people might tolerate dairy products better if they start with a small amount and gradually increase their intake, or if they consume dairy products with meals. If you follow a low-lactose diet, keep your intake of lactose to less than 10 grams per day, the University of Virginia Health System advises.
Caveats
When you're ill with an intestinal disorder, you might find your tolerance for even yogurt and cheese falling to zero again. Intestinal disorders can temporarily decrease your lactase production, causing symptoms of bloating, stomach pain, nausea, gas and diarrhea to reappear within 30 minutes to two hours after you eat yogurt or cheese. As you get older, your lactase production might also slow; you might find yourself experiencing more symptoms after consuming dairy products even if you never had a problem in the past.[/quote]
