Lactose intolerance occurs when your body can’t digest the lactose found in dairy products such as milk, breast milk, cheese or ice cream.
20% of the Australian population are lactose intolerant. If you frequently suffer from bloating, wind or flatulence, abdominal cramps or diarrhoea then you may have lactose intolerance.
