Milk Upsets Your Stomach? Yogurt May Be a Different Story
Health
With lactose intolerance, the amount you can tolerate varies. NIDDK notes that some people find yogurt or hard cheeses such as cheddar and Swiss easier to tolerate than other milk products.
If lactose intolerance has been diagnosed, keep track of the food, portion and symptoms when adjusting your diet. Smaller amounts with meals may suit some people. Lactose-free dairy is another option to discuss as part of a diet that supplies calcium and vitamin D.
Lactose intolerance and milk allergy need different management. Lactose-free cow’s milk still contains milk proteins, so it is unsuitable as a way to avoid a milk allergy. Ask a clinician if you are unsure what is causing symptoms.
