What to do if a pregnant woman is lactose intolerant

Pregnant women with lactose intolerance should reduce the intake of milk and milk products containing lactose, and can supplement their nutrition by consuming meat and yogurt.
Lactose intolerance in pregnant women is due to the lack of lactase enzyme in the body, which prevents digestion and absorption of lactose, thus leading to a series of gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloating in pregnant women.
If pregnant women are found to be lactose intolerant, they should adjust their dietary structure in time and reduce the intake of milk and dairy products containing lactose. Supplemental nutrition can be through meat, eggs, yogurt, fresh fruit and other foods. There is also attention to the supplementation of folic acid and trace elements of calcium and iron, which can be supplemented through the consumption of green vegetables, pig liver, tofu and so on.
When pregnant women experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, etc. after consuming dairy products, they need to adjust their dietary structure under the guidance of a doctor and take reasonable nutritional supplements.
