Lactose intolerance happens when your small intestine does not make enough of a digestive enzyme called lactase. Lactase breaks down the lactose in food so your body can absorb it. People who are lactose intolerant have unpleasant symptoms after eating or drinking milk or milk products.

Our bodies produce an enzyme called lactase. This enzyme helps our bodies digest lactose (a sugar found in milk). As we age, the amount of lactase our bodies produce decreases. Some people don’t produce as much as others. If you are lactose intolerant, it means your body doesn’t produce a lot of lactase. One option is to drink milk with lactase added to it.
Example: Lactaid
