Lactose intolerance varies from person to person. Some people can tolerate small amounts comfortably, while others are more sensitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do I build up my comfort with lactose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart small. Begin with around 30 to 60 ml and slowly increase the amount over several weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair it with food. Having dairy with a meal slows digestion and may make it easier to tolerate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplit your intake. Smaller servings across the day may be easier to tolerate than one large serving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair it with protein and fat. Both slow digestion, which may make lactose easier to tolerate. First Choice High Protein is high in protein, which helps with this.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe consistent. Regular, small amounts may allow your gut bacteria to adapt over time, which can reduce symptoms even though it doesn’t change how much lactase your body produces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsider lactase support. A lactase enzyme supplement may help reduce discomfort while you adjust your intake. Some people find an over-the-counter lactase enzyme supplement helpful while adjusting their intake - a pharmacist can advise on what’s suitable for you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse lower lactose dairy as a bridge. Yoghurt, cheese and fermented dairy products may be easier to tolerate while gradually reintroducing dairy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not push through discomfort.

Introducing small amounts gradually may help improve comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy could I drink milk as a child but struggle with it now?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour tolerance can change over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLactase production naturally decreases for most people after childhood. This is normal and genetically driven, not a sign that something is wrong. In some cases, new or worsening symptoms can also be linked to an underlying gut health issue rather than lactose alone. If you're unsure, it's worth checking in with your GP or a gastroenterologist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy can I tolerate yoghurt and cheese but not milk?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDifferent dairy products affect people differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome people tolerate yoghurt and cheese better than milk, and comfort may improve gradually over time with fermented options. Milk has the most lactose (around 12 g a glass); yoghurt is often easier to tolerate because its live cultures help digest lactose, and aged hard cheeses like cheddar and parmesan are virtually lactose free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes the high protein content make First Choice High Protein easier to tolerate?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eProtein slows digestion, which may give the body more time to process lactose.
