    Introduction

    A Try-It Diet is just that — a diet that you can try out for two weeks to see if it is a good fit for you. Keep in mind that not every diet is right for every person; please consult with your doctor before making radical changes to your diet.

    Lactose intolerance (LI) doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t have any foods with lactose in them, but there are certain foods you will want to avoid. For every high-lactose ingredient you need to cut from your diet, there are half a dozen tasty alternatives for you to enjoy. Look at your LI lifestyle as a challenge to sniff out the tastiest, healthiest foods.

    Many individuals are living in unnecessary discomfort, and simple diet changes could easily make a huge difference. There is no magic wand to cure LI and no medical procedure that will correct it. Your comfort zone in living with LI depends on what you put in your mouth.

    Lactose is a primary simple sugar found in milk and dairy. In order to digest lactose, the digestive enzyme lactase must be present in the small intestine. Lactase breaks down the milk sugar into two simpler forms of sugar, glucose and galactose, which allows absorption into the bloodstream.

    If there’s a shortage of lactase in the small intestine, lactose carries additional fluid as it moves down to the colon. Fermentation of lactose in the colon begins to take place, and gases form. (Think of the fermentation process of fine wines and champagne.) The gas bubbles can be very uncomfortable, causing gastrointestinal symptoms such as cramping, flatulence, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal bloating.

    Symptoms can range from severe pain to mild discomfort, depending on each individual’s degree of lactase deficiency and the amount of lactose that’s been consumed. It’s common for symptoms to begin anywhere from thirty minutes to three hours after eating or drinking food containing lactose.

    A major key to your digestive comfort is being food label savvy. Read labels and look for the obvious lactose first. Naturally occurring lactose in milk is listed as sugar on the Nutrition Facts label on a milk carton but the ingredients section doesn’t list any added sugar.

    It’s important to look not only for milk and lactose among the contents, but also for such terms as whey, curds, buttermilk, malted milk, milk by-products, dry milk solids, nonfat dry milk powder, sour cream, and sweet cream, all of which contain lactose. It doesn’t have to be in the dairy section to contain lactose. Every product and brand varies. Just because you become accustomed to a particular brand you think is free of lactose, be sure to read the label periodically because ingredients do change.

    It just so happens that many of the foods LI individuals shy away from are
