    Lactose for me. No more cheese or ice cream or it’s also back to 6/day. Luckily there is medicine for the occasional treat.

      Try well aged hard cheese, most of the lactose is processed by the microbes. Naturally fermented yogurt is also low in lactose, but it needs to be thick and only 2 ingredients (milk and culture), if it is runny or has thickeners, avoid.

      Good quality butter also has minimal lactose. It should basically be 100% fat.

      Be careful though, it may be a dairy protein intolerance rather than lactose, usually this is more severe.
