A nutritionist told how to recognize lactose intolerance

To determine if you have lactose intolerance, you do not need to do expensive genetic tests. This was told by a nutritionist, an expert of the TV channel "Doctor" Natalya Nefedova. In her opinion, you can understand that you have lactase deficiency on your own.

“By the age of 30, you will still understand whether you have an intolerance or not,” said Natalya Nefedova. “There will be bloating, nausea, and diarrhea after eating dairy products and especially milk, because there is less lactose in yogurt and cheese.”

The nutritionist added that lactose intolerance can manifest itself at any age, but many people can "live their whole lives completely calmly drinking milk."

But the widespread opinion that “cow's milk is for calves, not people” is not true, Natalya Nefedova noted. According to her, if a person does not have an allergy to milk proteins or lactose intolerance, he can consume regular milk without replacing it with vegetable analogues.

At the same time, even with lactase deficiency, you can drink milk and eat dairy products if you "swallow a tablet with a lactase enzyme."
