I suffer from lactose sensitivity and have problems drinking milk. Can I eat yogurt?
Quite possibly. 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. Try it (in small amounts) along with other foods most are able to tolerate, and enjoy, yogurt quite nicely!
