Which item may cause discomfort in lactose intolerance?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Milk
Lactose is the natural sugar found in milk. People with lactose intolerance produce insufficient lactase enzyme, so lactose may not be digested properly and can cause bloating, abdominal cramps, gas or diarrhoea. Milk is therefore the best answer, although tolerance varies and some people can manage small amounts or lactose-free products with professional guidance.
