Customer question:
Which food naturally does not contain lactose? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Some nutrients do not naturally contain lactose or contain it in meager amounts, which makes it suitable for people with intolerance. Meat and fish contain negligible amounts of lactose, so they are usually suitable for people with lactose intolerance. Poultry, such as chicken, turkey, and ducks, do not usually contain high amounts of lactose. Eggs also naturally do not contain lactose.
Rice and rice products usually do not contain lactose. Most fruits and vegetables are also lactose-free. Nuts, seeds, and products from them, such as nut butter, are also usually lactose-free. Plant-based milk substitutes include almond, soy, coconut, and rice milk. Some dairy products, such as unfermented hard cheeses, often contain less lactose and are better tolerated by people with lactose intolerance.
Tolerance levels vary between individuals, so trying different foods and observing how the body reacts to them is recommended. In case of uncertainty, always consult a doctor or nutritionist.
