- 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.

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!
