Lactose Intolerance Diet and Management by Blive Health Care

Lactose intolerance is a common digestive disorder where the body is unable to properly digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. This can lead to bloating, diarrhea, gas, and abdominal discomfort after consuming dairy. At Blive Health Care, our dietitians provide personalized lactose intolerance diet plans to help manage symptoms while ensuring adequate nutrition, calcium, and protein intake for overall health and wellness.

Our approach focuses on identifying lactose-containing foods and offering lactose-free alternatives, including plant-based milk, yogurt, and cheese options. We also emphasize the importance of probiotics, fortified dairy substitutes, and naturally low-lactose foods to maintain a balanced diet. Education on reading labels and meal planning helps patients avoid hidden sources of lactose in processed foods.

With continuous monitoring and guidance, Blive Health Care ensures that individuals with lactose intolerance can enjoy a varied and nutrient-rich diet without digestive discomfort. Our comprehensive programs include dietary counseling, symptom tracking, and lifestyle advice to improve digestive health and overall quality of life.
