Mumbai: Milk is often hailed as a nutritious source of calcium and vitamins, but for some individuals, consuming dairy can lead to a host of unpleasant and even harmful symptoms. While milk is a staple in many diets, certain health conditions make it a poor choice for some people. Whether due to an intolerance, allergy, or underlying health concern, there are conditions where dairy should be avoided or consumed with caution.

If you’re someone who experiences digestive discomfort, skin reactions, or other adverse effects after drinking milk, you may be among those who should consider eliminating dairy from their diet. Conditions like lactose intolerance, milk allergies, and certain autoimmune diseases can make milk a problematic food choice. In this article, we’ll explore these conditions in more detail and offer alternatives to ensure you’re still able to get the nutrients you need without the adverse side effects of milk.

Individuals with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy should avoid consuming milk, as it can lead to various health issues. Here’s a closer look at both conditions:

Lactose intolerance occurs when a person’s digestive system lacks the enzyme lactase, which is responsible for breaking down lactose, the natural sugar found in milk and dairy products. Without lactase, lactose remains undigested, causing a range of uncomfortable symptoms.

Though lactose intolerance is generally not harmful, it can significantly affect one’s comfort.

People with this condition can manage symptoms by switching to lactose-free milk, which has the lactose removed or broken down, or by consuming regular milk in smaller amounts. Some may also find relief by using lactase supplements that help digest lactose.
