Lactose intolerance is a common pathology that occurs due to the reduced activity of β-galactosidase leaving
undigested lactose in the intestine. About ۷۰% of the world population suffers from this condition. The
gastro intestinal symptoms associated with this condition are diarrhoea, pain, nausea, bloating, flatulence,
etc. It has been reported that these individuals are at a risk of developing several other pathologies like
irritable bowel disease, osteoporosis, etc. Hence, proper diagnosis and treatment is essential for dealing
with this condition. Various methods are used for providing an accurate diagnosis, such as hydrogen
breath test (HBT), lactose intolerance test, genetic test, intestinal biopsy, etc. Depending on the type of
intolerance, several methods are adopted for treating it, such as replacing enzyme, using exogenous
enzymes, following lactose free diet, as well as consuming prebiotics and probiotics. Different methods
are applied to synthesize lactose free dairy products to help lactose intolerant individuals suffering from
important vitamins and minerals deprivation. Recently, plant-based milks are also used as a substitute for
providing calcium and vitamins. The last few years have seen improvement in the quality and availability
of lactose-free dairy products offering tempting foodstuffs to consumers. This narrative article aimed to
review the existing science on lactose intolerance, along with its epidemiology, diagnosis, and clinical
management.
