Easily communicate your lactose intolerance when dining out using the Lactose Intolerance Digital Card. This downloadable PDF clearly explains your dietary requirements, helping restaurant staff understand that you avoid all foods and ingredients containing lactose, such as milk, cheese, butter, cream, yoghurt, ice cream, whey, and chocolate.<\/p>\n
Lactose intolerance occurs when the body cannot produce enough lactase, the enzyme needed to digest lactose, a sugar found in dairy products. This means avoiding common items such as milk, cheese, butter, cream, yoghurt, and ice cream, as well as hidden sources of lactose in sauces, dressings, and baked goods. Lactose is widely used in restaurant kitchens making it important to communicate your dietary needs clearly when eating out. Whether you have been diagnosed with lactose intolerance by a doctor or dietitian, this card helps ensure your meals are prepared without lactose-containing ingredients.<\/p>\n
