Dr. Schwartz: Milk intolerance is discussed with alternatives. Patients are first asked to try themselves on Lactaid or Dairy Ease. These products replace the missing enzyme in your system. If they are not effective, then a protocol using soy or rice milk with additional fat (flax seed, essential fatty acid, Evening Primrose Oil), is developed. Most lactose-intolerant individuals do well on the aforementioned products. Their bodies then seem to be stimulated to produce their own enzymes.
