Lactose-intolerance is a common challenge for many people. The lactose content can be different from one cheese to the other. Check with your physician whether Goat's milk or Sheep's milk cheeses could be an option for you.

Although the difference is minimal, lower moisture cheeses are better for the lactose intolerant populations. For example, Cheddar cheese would be slightly better than cottage cheese.

Many people with lactose intolerance are able to eat yogurt without feeling any adverse side effects such as bloating, gas, stomach cramps and in some cases diarrhea. This may be due to the enzymes found in the active bacteria cultures that help to break down the lactose. Yes. Because we add live and active cultures to our "soyogurt", your gastrointestinal system benefits in the same way as with dairy yogurt cultures.

All imported cheeses: Swiss, Light Swiss, Oltermanni Baby Muenster, Havarti, Muenster, Gouda and Black Label Swiss. Swiss, Light Swiss and Muenster loaves are sold behind the glass in the service deli. Swiss, Light Swiss, Havarti, Muenster and Gouda are also sold presliced and prepackaged in the self-service deli. All five varieties of our presliced cheeses are also sold in stick form on the cheese table in the self-service deli. Oltermanni Baby Muenster is also available in a 1lb.

Most people with lactose intolerance do not experience a problem with colostrum, as there is only a small amount of lactose present. If, however you have a severe milk protein allergy, you should consult your doctor prior to taking colostrum, due to its high protein count.

All flavors of PRIA? Complete Nutrition Bars contain milk ingredients. The amount of lactose is small so most people with lactose intolerance can consume these bars. Consult with your physician for more information.

Yes. Though you are best checking with your doctor, many lactose-intolerant people find no difficulty digesting YoGHEE. It is lactose free and oxidized cholesterol is similar to many nut or vegetable oils in this respect.

There are no international regulations to determine "lactose free". Valio Ltd (the parent company of Finlandia Cheese) is using a "lactose free" claim, when lactose cannot be found in the product (f. ex. cheese). Valio is using the best possible method (ion chromatographic method) to analyze lactose. The resolution for the method is 0.01%, which means that we can find 100 ppm (parts per million) of lactose from cheese.

Yes. OMNIGEST EZ contains the right amount of the enzyme lactase to aid in the digestion of typical meals containing dairy products.*

Lactose intolerance does not mean dairy intolerance. In fact, research shows that most people who are lactose intolerant can enjoy up to two cups of milk a day, particularly if they drink it with meals. Other tips for reducing symptoms include eating aged cheeses that are naturally low in lactose and drinking lactose-free milk.

Individuals with lactose intolerance should select a pure whey protein isolate, which has less than 0.1 gram of lactose per tablespoon (20 grams). This is less lactose than the amount found in a cup of yogurt and research has shown that most people with lactose intolerance have no trouble taking this very small amount of lactose. Individuals with lactose intolerance should avoid whey protein concentrates as they usually contain lactose and the amount can vary greatly from product to product.

Lactose is a sugar that makes up around 2-8% of the solids in milk. Nature intended liquid milk primarily for newborns and the very young. In many species, the adult mammal produces less of the enzyme lactase, used to digest milk. As a result, many adults, unable to properly metabolize lactose, don't tolerate milk very well. However, it is a widely held misconception that there is more lactose in cheese than in other dairy products.

Rachel's yogurt does contain lactose. However, many lactose-intolerant individuals are still able to tolerate some dairy foods. Yogurt can be particularly beneficial because the probiotics in the yogurt may help to partially break down the lactose before consumption. Depending on your system, it may be possible to enjoy Rachel's yogurt in moderation, especially when coupled with other food. Consult your healthcare professional to be sure.

The most likely possibilities are calcium and vitamin D deficiencies, because milk is a major source of these nutrients in the American diet. Fortified soy milk, fortified orange juice, tofu, spinach and most "greens" (collard greens, turnip greens, and kale) are good non-dairy sources of Calcium. Also, many people who are lactose intolerant can eat small quantities of dairy and also tolerate yogurt and ice cream pretty well.

PowerBar Performance contains high-quality milk protein that has been processed to remove lactose. While the amount of lactose in a PowerBar Performance bar is small (lactose = less than 1%), it may cause some gastric upset in individuals highly intolerant of lactose. All PowerBar Performance bars are made with dairy ingredients

The amount of lactose in a PowerBar ProteinPlus??? bar is only about 0.15g per bar, so nearly all lactose intolerant people can consume them. Consult with your physician for more information.

People who are lactose intolerant lack the enzyme necessary to digest lactose. This usually results in stomach discomfort after eating dairy products. There are tests that can determine if you are lactose intolerant, so please consult a physician for a complete examination.

True lactose intolerance can result in diarrhea, but this is rarely a problem for this product. The lactose content of Whey Healthier is 0.3g per 5 grams. For sensitive individuals, the use of a digestive enzyme that contains lactase and rennin can be helpful, as well as the concurrent use of probiotics. We advise you to ask your doctor about this issue.

BiPro gives you the great benefits of dairy without the lactose.  One tablespoon of BiPro contains less than 0.1 gram of lactose, which is less than the amount of lactose found in one cup of yogurt.  Research studies have shown that most people with lactose intolerance can safely consume this low, negligible amount of lactose with no discomfort.

Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the predominant sugar found in milk. This inability results from a shortage of the enzyme lactase. Lactase breaks down lactose into simpler forms that can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. Nearly all probiotic strains in DTECTA Probiotics are B-galactosidase positive, which means that they act like lactase i.e. they digest lactose.

Yes, MA+COMPLEX has less than 1% lactose which will not create any ill effects even in the most severe case of lactose intolerance.

All Cabot cheeses contain zero (0) grams of lactose. Eating any aged cheese should not affect those with lactose intolerance, regardless of how much is eaten, because lactose - the major carbohydrate of cheese - totally disappears within 3 to 4 weeks after the cheese is made.

Chocolate milk may be more easily digested than unflavored milk in people with lactose intolerance. In fact, most individuals with a limited ability to break down lactose can drink two cups of any type of milk a day when consumed in small servings or with other foods. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Agriculture. Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2005. 6th Edition, Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, January 2005. Johnson, et al.

Yes. The large proteins, such as lactose, are filtered out during the extraction process. Are transfer factors made of sugars, proteins or fats? Isolated transfer factors have been determined to be a chain of small peptides consisting of 44 amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The immune system is challenged during times of stress. Because of this, additional support through supplementation may promote a healthy immune system.

The answer varies with each case, but generally, Yes! Lactose intolerance is a very common condition that occurs when lactose (milk sugar), is not digested properly because of an enzyme deficiency. Yogurt, with its complement of lactic acid bacteria in a live, active culture, aids in lactose digestion and is well tolerated even by most lactose intolerant individuals.

Fluid Recovery does contain ingredients derived from dairy, and therefore, may contain trace amounts of lactose for those who are highly sensitive. However it is 99.9% lactose free due to the high quality of whey protein isolate. It is always best to consult your physician.
