Briefly describe the process of restriction and reintroduction of dairy products to clients with lactose malabsorption.

What will be an ideal response?


Lactose tolerance level varies among individuals. In the case of secondary lactose intolerance (from illness, i.e., celiac disease), lactose exclusion is recommended for approximately 4 weeks. Then small amounts of lactose can be reintroduced. Dairy products such as cheese and yogurt have smaller amounts of lactose and may be adequately tolerated. Up to 1 cup of milk can be introduced in small increments throughout a 24-hour period.
