Lactose intolerance doesn't have to mean dairy intolerance. And, many health authorities agree that milk and other dairy foods are an important and practical source of key nutrients, for all people – including those who are lactose intolerant.

Strategies and Solutions for Lactose Intolerance
On the "Life, Love and Health" radio program, gastroenterologist Dr. Jeanette Newton Keith, M.D., discussed the findings of the National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Conference on Lactose Intolerance and Health, as well as some solutions to incorporate more low-fat and fat-free dairy foods into the daily diet of those who are lactose intolerant. In part one, Dr. Keith talked about some of the misconceptions that can accompany a diagnosis of lactose intolerance, and how incorporating dairy into the diet of those who are lactose intolerant can be done while alleviating discomfort without sacrificing nutrition. In part two, Dr. Keith shared some of her personal stories about diagnosing lactose intolerance and developing dietary strategies for her parents, her friends and... herself.
