Lactose Intolerance – Diagnosis & Treatment

5 Treatment Options for Lactose Intolerance

Lactase Pills

Lactase is a type of enzyme that can break down lactose in the body. Many people suffer from lactose intolerance because they lack this substance. Therefore, a simple way to alleviate the symptoms is to take lactase pills. They are often available in the form of drops, tablets, powders, or liquids. You can also add them to dairy products or foods. Some milk brands add lactase enzyme to reduce the amount of lactose. However, this is not an effective treatment when your condition is caused by other triggers. [6]
