Question 1

which form of yogurt has the least amount of lactose? i love greek yogurt; if i suspect lactose intolerance, can i eat it?

Accepted Answer

None of them: Yogurt does not have lactose in it (or at least not a considerable amount). This is because it is made with bacteria cultures, which feed on the lactose to make acids which turn milk into yogurt. Yogurt does not cure lactose intolerance (there is no cure). However, lactose intolerant people can eat yogurt with no problems.

Question 2

why does lactose intolerance increase with age? if i am lactose sensitive, when is the time of day at which i should eat yogurt to keep healthy?

Accepted Answer

Not needed: The nordic people mastered animal husbandry and keep their lactase for the entire life. For the rest of the people , lactase is deleted at various ages since it is not an essential enzyme.  In fact , human is likely the only mammal still drinking milk after infancy.

Question 3

why do i get a stomach ache when i eat greek yogurt? does that mean i have lactose intolerance?  can it be because of the live culture and probiotics

Accepted Answer

It's possible: Call your discuss to discuss this.  Or eliminate all dairies &see what happens but remember that you will need something to substitute it so you get enough calcium.

Question 4

how long does it typically take for people with lactose intolerance to feel sick after drinking milk or eating yogurt?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Question 6

with lactose intolerance, will i get sick from consuming some dairy yogurt?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: If you are lactose intolerant, you will most likely develop symptoms after eating yogurt that contains lactose.

Question 7

am substituting cheese, frozen ices and yogurt. could this cause lactose intolerance?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Any cheese you buy should be devoid of carbohydrate, but your lucky: swiss, chedder, colby, provolone, parmesgan, romano, etc. Avoid american processed chees. (read the lable-carbs which are  lactose).  Frozen ices and most yogurts contain lactose.  Greek and middle eastern style yogurts may contain little to none.  But check the carbs-lactose, unless sweetened with corn syrup & dextrose.

Question 8

for partial lactose intolerance, is there a website or other resource that tells how much lactose remains in various brands and flavors of yogurt?

Accepted Answer

See Below: In General Greek yogurt has less lactose than regular but I am not aware of any website that compares them.  You can buy liquid lactase on Amazon and stir it into yogurt and 24 hours later most if not all of the lactose will be gone.

Question 9

what are symptoms of lactose intolerance? consumed cheese, yogurt, or milk, she complains of terrible stomach pains

Accepted Answer

Yes: That is a possibility- there are other possibilities as well. Was this a first time occurence or does it occur repeatedly with ingestion of milk and dairy products.? Try doing without milk and dairy for a week or two and see what happens. A specialist can do testing for lactose intolerance if you want to be sure.
