Give dairy another chance

More people than you might think cut out dairy unnecessarily, thinking they are allergic to it, when in fact they could be lactose intolerant. In fact, 90% of those who think they can’t have dairy, can with Lactofree, the UK’s first range of lactose-free* dairy products.

Lactose intolerance is thought to affect up to 1 in 7 people in the UK, and is the body’s inability to produce enough of the enzyme lactase in the digestive tract. Without it, lactose (the natural sugar in milk and other dairy products) cannot be digested properly, so people can feel bloated and experience vomiting and stomach pains after consuming dairy products.

Experiencing these symptoms after a delicious meal can be really annoying, but simply substituting those products for Lactofree could change that. The Lactofree range includes semi-skimmed and whole dairy drink (fresh and UHT) alongside flavoured strawberry and raspberry yogurts and hard and soft cheese. Made with real dairy, the products have the same great taste and nutritional benefits of dairy and can be used in cooking or on their own.

If you do experience any symptoms after consuming some of the many products which contain lactose such as milk, crisps and cake, why not try the Elimination Diet which will determine whether the cause is an intolerance to lactose.

Samantha Glassford, Brand Manager for Lactofree comments: “Lactofree can help mend your broken relationship with dairy by allowing you to enjoy the foods you’ve been missing out on by cutting out dairy. Instead of denying yourself the treats you crave, Lactofree enables those who are lactose intolerant to enjoy dairy again, just without the unwanted symptoms.”

* Every effort is made to ensure that Lactofree semi-skimmed / yogurt / cheese contains no lactose. Lactofree carries out rigorous scientific testing using the most accurate UKAS-accredited tests available which enable us to detect lactose at the trace level of 0.03%. At this detection level tests show that there is no lactose present in Lactofree. Please refer to www.lactofree.co.uk for more information.
