I'm lactose intolerant, can I eat yogurt?

Question

someone told me i can eat all the yogurt I want because it doesn't contain any lactose - is that true?

Answer 1

I think u will be o.k with yogurt. Just try a couple of TBS initially. My friend is lactose intolerant and she ate yogurt. In yogurt, I believe that lactose has been modified and is not bad. My mom complains about being lactose intolerant and I fed her the yogurt the only caution is that different people have different degrees of lactose intolerance.

Answer 2

Firstly that is not a true statement at all! Yogurt is a milk product and therefore contains the milk sugar lactose. However, many yogurts contain lower amounts of lactose than milk. As yogurt ferments, some of the lactose (milk's sugar) changes to lactic acid. Importantly, starter cultures in yogurt may produce the enzyme lactase, which digests lactose. Yogurt's semi-solid state also contributes to improved tolerance to lactose. Even if you are lactose intolerant, you may be able to handle smaller portions of your favorite dairy products. It also may help to eat a food that does not contain lactose along with a food that does, so have some fruit with your bagel and cream cheese!

Although the most important thing here is to discuss this with your doctor. He or she is best suited to tell you if yogurt is acceptable for you because they are aquainted with your medical history.

My cousin is lactose intolerant and he can't eat it, he has asked the doctor if he could and the doctor said it could make him very sick if he did.

Answer 4

.. I dont think so
Yogurt has milk and you can't eat milk b/c you're lactose and tolerant. So you can't. Sorry, tough luck
