Briefly describe the process of restriction and reintroduction of dairy products in clients with lactose malabsorption
Individuals vary in the amounts of lactose they can tolerate; if the lactose intolerance is secondary to another condition or due to acute illness, 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.
