A simple test: Replace milk with a plant-based alternative for a few days and observe the difference.

Abdominal cramps: a painful signal
Abdominal pain a few hours after a meal rich in dairy products? This can be a sign of poor digestion of lactose. These cramps are often accompanied by other digestive symptoms such as bloating and gas.

If you frequently experience this type of pain, consult a healthcare professional to identify the cause.

How do you know if you are lactose intolerant?

If several of these symptoms sound familiar to you, it may be helpful to do an elimination test: remove dairy products from your diet for two to three weeks and observe the changes. You can also request a hydrogen breath test or a blood test to confirm the diagnosis.

Good news: today, there are many delicious alternatives to traditional dairy products. Almond milk, soy yogurts, plant-based cheeses… You can easily adapt your diet while preserving your pleasure!

Listen to your body and make the choices that are right for you.
