There is no cure for lactose intolerance.
Sometimes it is a secondary, temporary situation brought on by a primary issue (flu, ulcer,..)
Treatment varies, but the the best option is to stay away from dairy products.
Some over-the counter medications, like Lactaid, try to help by providing a dose of enzymes to help the body break down down the lactose. Ideally, these should be taken each take dairy products are consumed.
On a related note, stay away from alcohol sugars, found in sugar free mints, gums and candy. If you consume products with alcholol sugars (mannitol, other sugars ending with 'ol'), and then consume sugar, as in a soda, the result can be similar to lactose intolerance. Bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Often the two are confused.

Hi ussm904,

Lactose intolerance is the problem experienced by our bodies while digesting lactose. Lactose is a sugar present in milk and other dairy products. Here are some of the remedies to cure this disorder.

• The best remedy to cure this disorder is to stay away from milk and other dairy products, as lactose occurs only in these foods.
• Put enzymes like Lactaid in milk. These enzymes help in digestion of the dairy products.
• Eat food along with the dairy products. This remedy has provided respite to many people.
• Add cocoa powder to milk. Cocoa powder has been shown to slow down the rate at which the stomach empties itself and alleviating the symptoms of the disorder.
• Supplements like DairyCare assist the body in digesting lactose by helping it produce the necessary enzymes.
