What You Can Still Consume

Despite being lactose intolerant, there are dairy products that you may still be able to consume, as they contain lower amounts of lactose. These include aged cheeses (such as cheddar, Swiss, and Parmesan), butter, and lactose-free milk and yogurt. Often fermented dairy products, such as some cheeses, yogurts, and kefir, don’t elicit the same effects as regular dairy products do. That being said, this will depend on you and your personal tolerance.
