Lactose Intolerance Management Guidelines

Many lactose-intolerant individuals can tolerate up to 24 g lactose daily (the amount in 2 cups of milk) if it is ingested throughout the day. Lactose intolerance is not milk allergy.

Lactose reduced milk may be an effective strategy to reduce some lactose intolerance (LI) symptoms.

The new guidelines are available from these websites:
