constipation and others after the
consumption of milk. Those who
are lactose-intolerant tend to
avoid milk and its derivatives
altogether due to these
inconveniences experienced
while consuming milk and dairy
products, but this will bring them
relief to them.”

naturally in dairy products, milk,
yoghurts and some food items

Lactose intolerance occurs in
people who cannot metabolize
lactose properly because their
digestive systems produce too

lactase required for digesting
lactose in the body.
