Im interested in trying a nutrition shake like Myoplex, but Im lactose intolerant. Are there any products that would work for someone with my condition?
There are negligible amounts of lactose in Myoplexit’s 99% lactose free. We don’t know why, but lactose intolerance affects about 75% of the world population but only about 20-25% of people in the U.S. Since people with this problem lack the enzymes necessary to digest milk and milk byproducts, all the lactose hangs around the colon until mercenary bacteria find it and start to break it down. The resulting fermentation and byproducts cause flatulence, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Researchers in a recent study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that lactose-intolerant individuals could easily tolerate small doses of lactose, i.e., around two grams. It seems that these small servings of dairy products such as hard cheese or regular milk resulted in no symptoms of intolerance.

If their findings hold up in future research, a serving of Myoplex, with a lactose content of under one gram per serving, should not pose problems to individuals who are normally la
