Lactose intolerance is an annoying disease. Mostly because you just can't eat ice cream, and there goes your social life. In a more serious note, lactose intolerance affects about 30 million Americans. The solution is not drinking milk, but this in its own can cause Vitamin D and calcium deficiencies which results in other more serious problems like osteoporosis.
How do you know if you are lactose intolerant? Intolerance usually comes accompanied by a stomach ache 30 mins- 2 hrs after the consumption of milk.
What is there to do, you ask? Try delactosed milk or try other products like yogurt, buttermilk and cheeses (they have less lactose than milk),Goat's milk (but drink it with meals, and make sure it is supplemented with essential amino acids and vitamins if you give it to children), or just formula for children ( not recommended for adults, gross).
I have found that CR has the most delicious delactosed milk on planet Earth. Lucky for me , right?
