Overview

The mainstay of treatment for lactose intolerance is lifestyle modification that includes decreasing the consumption of dairy products or switcing to lactose-free or reduced lactose dairy products. Pharmacologic medical therapies for lactose intolerance include lactase enzyme preparations such as lactaid, lactogest, dairyease.

Medical Therapy

  • Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended for patients with lactose intolerance who do not respond well to lifestyle modification.
  • Pharmacologic medical therapies for lactose intolerance include lactase enzyme preparations such as:[1]
    • Lactaid
    • Lactogest
    • DairyEase
  • Lactase enzyme preparations have bacterial or yeast beta-galactosidases
  • In secondary lactase deficiency, treatment is based on the underlying cause.

Lifestyle modification

  • Patients with lactose intolerance are treated with dietary restriction of lactose and adequate intake of calcium. [2][3][4][5]
    • Milk and ice cream have highest amount of lactose, but due to high fat concentration and slower rate of gastric emptying rate in ice cream compared to the milk, the symptoms of lactose intolerance with ingestion of ice cream is very mild.
    • Levels of lactose is much lower in cheese.
  • 1 L of milk (equivalent to 50 grams of lactose) once a day, without any meals, usually cause symptoms in lactose intolerant persons.[6]
  • Limitation in lactose intake, the equivalent of 240 ml (8 oz, one cup) of milk or less a day causes less symptoms. [7]
  • Two cups of milk per day, divided in two doses with food can be tolerated well. [8]
  • Yogurt containing live cultures which provides endogenous beta-galactosidase can be used as an alternative to milk products in patients with lactose intolerance. [9]
  • Attention to daily ingestion of calcium and vitamin D is necessary . Dietary calcium recommendation for adolescents and adults is 1200–1500 mg. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation should be considered if it is not enough in diet. [3]

Lactose intolerance

Adult and pediatric

  • Lactaid (caplet), DairyEase (chewable tablet), Lactogest (soft gel capsule) : 3,000-9,000 units PO with meals or dairy[1][10]
  • Lactaid drops: 5–15 drops in quart ( 946 ml ) of milk
