BC Dairy Association

Welcome to BC Dairy Association

We have a new name! But that’s all. We’re the same people, with the same mission, and the same passion for BC milk and innovative nutrition education programs.

OK, carry on...

We are now BC Dairy Association

If I have lactose intolerance, can I still drink milk?

Yes! Try these tips:

  • Have small amounts of milk throughout the day instead of a whole glass at one time (60–125 mL or 1/4–1/2 cup).
  • Try chocolate or other flavoured milk. They are digested more slowly by your body.
  • Drink milk with meals or snacks, not by itself.
  • Drink lactose-free milks such as Lactaid™, Lacteeze™. You'll find these milks in the dairy case at grocery stores.
  • Ask a pharmacist for lactase tablets or drops such as Lactaid™, Lacteeze™ or a generic brand. They work to break down the lactose in milk for you. Be sure to follow package directions when using these products.
  • Try yogurt.
  • Try mozzarella and aged cheeses like cheddar, swiss, blue, brie, etc. They contain almost no lactose.
