True - lactose intolerant people are unable to digest lactose, which is a component of milk and many other diary products and the cause of lactose intolerance is the absence of an enzyme in the small intestine called lactase

The actual answer is False. People who are lactose intolerant are allergic tolactose, a product in milk. But they can drink milk that has had the lactose removed, such as lactose free milk. I would know im lactose intolerant :) Hope this helped!!
