How can someone with lactose intolerance ensure they get enough calcium?
It should be easy for people with lactose intolerance to get enough calcium – as most people are able to eat hard cheese (which contains virtually no lactose) and yogurt (which has natural cultures that help lactose digestion). Research has shown that even small amounts of milk with a meal should be well tolerated by people with lactose intolerance. Many people are self-diagnosing lactose intolerance. It is important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis if you suspect you may be lactose intolerant.
