Can someone with a lactose intolerance use the Cambridge Diet?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose (milk sugar) and is caused by a deficiency of lactase an enzyme released by the small intestine which allows milk sugar to be absorbed into the blood stream. The Cambridge Diet has a skimmed-milk base and is therefore not suitable for those with this condition. However, a small range of Cambridge Diet drinks made with soy milk is available on request.
