Publisher's Synopsis
Lactose intolerance (LI) doesn't necessarily mean you can't have any foods with lactose in them, but there are certain foods you will want to avoid. For every high-lactose ingredient you need to cut from your diet, there are half a dozen tasty alternatives for you to enjoy. Look at your LI lifestyle as a challenge to sniff out the tastiest, healthiest foods. Many individuals are living in unnecessary discomfort, and simple diet changes could easily make a huge difference. There is no magic wand to cure LI and no medical procedure that will correct it. Your comfort zone in living with LI depends on what you put in your mouth. Lactose is a primary simple sugar found in milk and dairy. To digest lactose, the digestive enzyme lactase must be present in the small intestine. Lactase breaks down the milk sugar into two simpler forms of sugar, glucose, and galactose, which allow absorption into the bloodstream.
