So go ahead and grate a little Parmesan over your pasta. Yogurt can be another smart pick—but not all varieties. Look for yogurt that has "live active cultures" or "probiotics" on the label, says Largeman-Roth. These good bugs are essential, as bacteria feed on sugar and end up eating up much of the lactose.
That's why probiotic-rich Greek yogurt is so tart—little of the sugar it started with remains once it hits your spoon. Even better, Raymond says, opt for full-fat yogurt, especially if you're not going Greek.
It has about 8. You'd probably never describe butter as sweet—that's because it's nearly lactose-free. Still, butter does have very, very small amounts of a milk protein called whey—which Raymond says is where most of the lactose in milk hides out.
So if you notice butter bothering your stomach, opt for ghee aka clarified butter , suggests Lily Nichols, RDN, nutritionist at Pilates Nutritionist , which is butter that's been melted down and strained of the milk solids. Never heard of kefir or quark? Well, you might want to get acquainted. Both fermented dairy products have healthy amounts of the same lactose-loving bacteria that make Greek yogurt easy to digest.
And—thanks to the fermentation process, in which bacteria feed on more of the lactose than in Greek yogurt—even low-fat kefir or quark will be easy on your stomach. Use kefir in your morning smoothies and quark in place of thick cheeses like ricotta. Those good bacteria also help you break down lactose, even if you have an intolerance to it. Think of it this way: Lactose is a natural sugar in milk made up of two simple sugars, glucose and galactose. Symptoms of lactose intolerance may include abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea.
Your physician can confirm whether you have lactose intolerance, and a registered dietitian can help you understand options tailored to your level of tolerance. There are many reasons to enjoy Greek yogurt—from its thick and tangy flavor to its nutrition to its versatility.

For ex. I seem to have a reaction to most of the dairy products I eat. This was very interesting read.

My lactose problem was a little wobbly growing up too. Had to have soy formula as a baby but from 2 until about 22 I was fine with all milk products.

No disrespect towards you, Amelia. It is a painful, chronic, and serious ailment that could land you in a hospital.

Most people with lactose intolerance can eat yogurt. The good bacteria live, active cultures found in yogurt will help digest the lactose for you. Aged cheeses. The harder a cheese, the less lactose it has. Lactose is found in the watery part of milk, and since harder cheeses have less liquid, that means they contain less lactose. Extra sharp cheddar, Parmesan, Pecorino, aged gouda and other very hard cheeses have essentially no lactose.
Lactase-fortified dairy products. Lactaid is the most well-known example in this category, but there now quite a few other cheeses, yogurts, and ice creams that are fortified with the lactase enzyme, so people with lactose intolerance can digest them. Low-fat dairy products in small amounts. These foods are also higher in protein and calcium than their high-fat counterparts. Finding the foods that work for you may just be a matter of trial and error, so start slow. Dairy products eaten with a lactase pill.
Pop a lactase pill minutes before consuming dairy to see if this method works for you.
