To understand whether a person has lactose intolerance (milk sugar), you do not need to do expensive genetic tests, you can determine lactase deficiency yourself.

As dietitian Natalia Nefedova explained in a comment to Gazeta.ru, by the age of 30, any person will understand for himself whether or not he has intolerance to dairy products. If after their use there is bloating, nausea and diarrhea, especially for milk itself, then there is lactose intolerance. There is less lactose in yogurts and cheeses, the symptoms may be smoothed out.

According to Nefedova, lactose intolerance can manifest itself at any age, but many people live their whole lives calmly and drink milk without problems.

The conventional wisdom that “cow’s milk is for calves, not people” is not true, she added. She clarified: if a person does not have an allergy to milk proteins or lactose intolerance, he can drink regular milk without replacing it with vegetable analogues.

And even with lactase deficiency, you can drink milk and eat dairy products if you “swallow a tablet with a lactase enzyme” before that.
