A member asked:
Why can i still eat other diary product if i'm lactose intolerant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Threshold issue: Most people, even those with lactose intolerance, have the ability to digest some lactose because they have some lactase enzyme activity. Exceed your threshold to drink milk and you pay for it with gas, bloating, diarrhea. Consume small amounts of lactose (below your lactase enzyme threshold) & you're good to go.

Very good morning doctors. At times I get mild constipation. I think that I am also lactose intolerant. When I take dairy, my bowels loosen up. Is there a product or medication that would safely simulate the effects of the dairy on my constipation?
