Answers:
Hello, I'm also lactose intolerant so might be able to shed some light!.
Lactose intolerance means you have trouble breaking down the sugar in lactose found in milk!. Symptoms include stomach cramps and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) where you can have the runs one minute and constipation the next!. I usually get crippling stomach cramps and sever bloating where my belly gets massive and quite hard when I eat too much cheese which I love! You can also get gas and gurgling noises in your belly and a general feeling of discomfort!. There are lots of tablets on the market which help ease the stomach pains and bowel trouble but the best thing would be to cut down on your milk consumption!.
Butter does contain lactose but only in small amounts and since we usually only eat butter in small doses, this should't present too much of a problem!. Try soya or rice milk as an alternative to milk in cereals and tea and coffee!. If you don't like the taste, there is a milk alternative called 'lactofree' on the market!. It comes from cows milk so tastes like normal milk but has less than 0!.5% lactose so should be easy on the stomach!. Alpro soya also do yoghurts which are a good alternative!.
Here is a couple of websites you might find useful on lactose intolerance for more info!.
Hope this helps x

where is your family descendant from!?
about 75% of people of african or asian descent are lactose intolerant, and only abt 5% of european descent, so that might clue you in too

lactose intolerance means you dont' have lactase, the enzyme to break down lactose, which is in most milk products!. if you get queazy, gassy, diarhea, constipation, or throw up, you may be intolerant
milk protein allergies can produce similiar effects, however
try this: eat a serving or two or three of yogurt and see how you feel
yogurt is a milk product that has the lactose already broken down (by the bacteria that made it yogurt) so if you get the same symptoms it's likely an allergy, no symptoms: lactose intoleranceWww@Answer-Health@Com
