What may worsen symptoms in lactose intolerance?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Milk and lactose-containing foods
Lactose intolerance occurs when insufficient lactase enzyme prevents complete digestion of lactose, the natural sugar in milk. Consuming milk or other lactose-containing foods may cause bloating, abdominal cramps, gas or diarrhoea in susceptible people. Tolerance varies, and some people can use yoghurt, hard cheese or lactose-free products. Thus, option B is correct.
