Lactose intolerance is a digestive disorder caused by the inability to digest lactose, the main carbohydrate in dairy products. This condition occurs if your body doesn’t make enough of the enzyme lactase, which you need to digest lactose. The signs and symptoms of lactose intolerance usually begin from 30 minutes to two hours after eating or drinking foods that contain lactose. It is advisable to consult a doctor before completely removing dairy products from the diet. There are many ways to get enough calcium without consuming dairy. Calcium-fortified foods, canned fish with bones, and dark leafy greens all provide calcium.
