Lactose intolerance is indicated by discomfort in the intestines every time after consuming dairy products.

To confirm the diagnosis, you should consult a doctor who will prescribe a series of examinations.

If you have visited a doctor and are convinced that you have lactose intolerance, you would probably like to find an answer to the question of whether this disease can be treated.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely cure such patients, but there is every chance to improve their condition.

To do this, you need to remove from your diet everything that contains lactose. When choosing products, carefully study the label with the composition: sometimes this component can be found in the most unexpected places.

Look for lactose-free products on the shelves - they differ from regular ones in that they do not contain milk sugar among their ingredients.

In order to adjust your diet, again, it is worth consulting a doctor.

It is likely that you will have to completely give up dairy products for only 2-4 weeks, after which the doctor will allow you to gradually return dairy products to your diet in small quantities.

One thing is for sure: the specialist's recommendations depend on how sensitive your particular body is to lactose.
