A member asked:

Think a friend of mine has this lactose intolerance problem. what can you do for a friend with this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go lactose free: Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose ( a sugar) by lactase. If one has lactose intolerance then avoidance of lactose, using lactose free dairy products, is helpful.
