For those who suffer from lactose intolerance, simple dietary choices sometimes aren't so simple. Lactose intolerance, a relatively common condition, can cause uncomfortable digestive problems after eating dairy foods like milk, yogurt, ice cream and cheese.

In technical terms, lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk. Because lactose may also be present in baked goods and some medications, it's important to read labels and check for dairy ingredients. If you suspect you are lactose intolerant, consult your doctor to rule out more serious problems.
