Q: I am a 41 years old man who has found to be intolerant to lactose. Is there any substitute for this with similar benefits?

A:Lactose intolerance can be dealt with by changing the form of milk consumed. It may be taken, not in pure form, but as curd/yoghurt, cottage cheese as this simplifies the lactose in the milk. Soya milk is lactose free and can be consumed regularly.
