Lactose free milk

Would using lactose free milk do the trick if one is prone to bloating and flatulence from regular skim milk? Would love to hear everybody's thoughts on this.

A lot of people suffer from lactose intolerance in varying degrees. Lactose free products will greatly reduce the effects of this. Bloating is just one of the many sides of Lactose Intolerance. Plenty of health food stores have a range of lactose free foods. try it and see. No goodness lost just the lactose.

Most definitely. Regular milk gives me bloating, gas and diarrhea.

Is there any digestive enzymes that can be taken to combat the problem as well? I seem to remember hearing something about Lactase I believe it was called.

Lactose free milk is in fact milk with added with lactase(an enzyme) to convert the lactose in milk into glucose, thus making it easier for those lactose intolerant people to digest the sugars easier.

From the posts above most say it would help in combating bloating and flatulence. Weird as for me, i did try lactose-free milk some time back and still experienced those symptoms. Don't know what kinda stomach i have sometimes..

Interesting, I didn't know that.

Was there anything else you were taking with the milk that could have contributed to that? Like protein powder or excessive carbs?
