Lactose Intolerance
What is Lactose Intolerance?
There are two forms of Lactose intolerance
- Lactose intolerance may be something which is permanent, meaning you will always have trouble digesting the lactose in food products.
- Lactose intolerance can be temporary, meaning it may only be for a short while that you have difficulties, and then you can go back to enjoying the lactose containing products.
