Lactose is a commercial food additive used for its texture, flavor, and adhesive qualities. It can also be listed on food labels as:
Whey
Curds
Casein
Caseinate
Lactoserum
Lactoglobulin
Milk Byproducts
Milk Solids
Modified Milk Ingredients
You will find the lactose ingredients added to foods such as sliced breads, breakfast cereals and bars, baked goods, instant potatoes and soups, lunch meats, sausage, hot dogs, and many other foods. So, read your labels!
Some of you may be able to eat a small quantity of these foods without experiencing any symptoms of lactose intolerance. You will have to go through a trial and error period. Often, the foods can be eaten in moderation if you take one of the lactase enzymes with your food. One that works, and can be easily purchased here is Lactaid.

Can anyone who is lactose intolerant answer these questions as part of my food coursework?
Thanks
1. Do you like ready meals?
2. Would you like the idea of a complete meal for people who are lactose intolerant?
3. Do you find it easy and convenient to buy lactose free products?
4. Do you like the taste of lactose free products?
5. How many times each week do you cook a meal?
Hi there Ozzy,
Not sure if you still need this info, but I'm happy to play:
1. I don't usually like ready made meals. They make me feel icky after eating them.
2. I like complete meals :)
3. I find it easier to find lactose-free products than other "free" products like gluten free or additive free.
4. I don't particularly like Lactase, and Soy Ice (not iced cream) is okay, but is nothing like real ice cream.
5. I cook most every day.
