More than sixty million North Americans are lactose intolerant, that is, they are not able to digest milk sugar. It is the most common cause of gas, bloating, abdominal cramping and diarrhea in humans. Although it is simple to diagnose, it may be overlooked by some physicians who may attribute the symptoms to irritable gut, stress, allergies, or even mental disorders. Once diagnosed and treated by diet, the symptoms are relieved and life returns to normal. The Milk Sugar Dilemma presents a readable guide to living with lactose intolerance, including nutritional guidelines, a lactose-restricted diet, setting your own lactose level, grocery shopping, dining away from home, lactose-free food products, and recipes. A must for patients, as well as dietitians and physicians who treat lactose intolerance.

Vast amount of info. of how to cope w/lactose intolerance,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Milk Sugar Dilemma: Living with Lactose Intolerance (Paperback)
The Milk Sugar Dilemma was recommended to me by a GI doctor who diagnosed me with lactose intolerance in 1991. This book enabled me to adjust my diet to meet my lactose intolerance needs before Lactaid created their new line of products. This book is relevant for those that have been diagnosed with lactose intolerance or are debating whether they are lactose intolerant. The book contains a detailed explanation about what lactose intolerance means, how to test what your dairy tolerance and ways to live with lactose intolerance including useful recipes.

This review is from: The Milk Sugar Dilemma: Living with Lactose Intolerance (Paperback)
An earlier version of the book was referenced in some material my doctor had given me as a guide to a lactose-restricted diet. When I found the revised version of the book on Amazon, I was delighted to see it was still available. The authors provide excellent guidance into what lactose is and how we have (or haven't) adapted to it over time. The list of products that do and do not contain milk sugars is surprising. There are also recipes that prove that a lactose-restricted diet can still be nourishing and tasty.
It was a great find!
