Think bloating, gas, and even diarrhea – not the best side effects when you're trying to feel your best, right? So then why is this digestive distress causing mole hiding in your supplements? Well, sometimes manufacturers use lactose as a cheap filler or to help bind ingredients together.
But, there's some relief:
- Most supplements have a tiny bit of lactose. It's like having one too many party guests – your gut might notice, but it probably won't throw a full-blown fit.
-
If you're sensitive, talk to your doctor. They can help you find the right supplements and maybe even suggest some fun, lactose-free alternatives.
Imagine your gut is a party. Lactose is like the uninvited guest that everyone is talking about. If you're lactose intolerant, your gut doesn't have the right party favors (enzymes) to handle lactose.
Remember, everyone's gut party is different. What's a minor inconvenience for one person could be a major blowout for another. If you have any concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor or a registered dietitian.
