4. Home remedies for lactose intolerance.

These methods may work for people who have slightly intolerance to lactose.

  • If you have minor troubles when you eat or drink dairy, you may be able to increase your tolerance to dairy product by drinking milk a little everyday by increasing the amount gradually. 
  • Try to have a small (very small) glass of milk with some cookies or drink flavored milk to ease the digestion.  
  • Milk with higher fat content is more easily digested. Whole milk might be a better choice than low fat or skim milk. 
  • When looking for cheese, look for hard cheeses instead of soft ones as it contains more lactose. 
  • Most people with lactose intolerance can digest partially digested milk products that contain live bacterial cultures. Yogurt is often easy to eat provided it contains live cultures since these deplete the amount of lactoses in milk. It can help your digestions with dairy products. Try to eat yogurt 10-15 minutes before you have dairy products and see ifyou still have some symptoms.
  • Finally, to ease the discomfort, a cup of camomile tea may help. Chamomile contains tannins, which help to temporarily constrict the intestinal tract, reducing spasms and pain. It can help to neutralize gas and reduce bloating, which is the common symptoms from lactose intolerance.
  • Consume dairy products with food. Many people find that the symptoms of lactose intolerance are eased or erased completely when they eat at the time they consume milk, cheese or other dairy products.  


5. Go dairy-free.

This will be the last choice for dairy lovers because nothing can replace the taste of dairy products. If you have decided that you don't really need to have much of diary products, then taking lactase pills once in a while would be a choice when you want to enjoy some dairy. There are many soy-based products that you can use for a dairy-free diet.

Hi. I've read both of your hubs on lactose intolerance. I guess I'm more on the mildly intolerant because I can sometimes digest milk especially if I drink milk after a full meal or eating some snacks. But it kind of gets annoying when I take in something and my stomach starts grumbling =). I'll try your advice on the chamomile tea and eating yogurt. Thanks for this hub!
