Content: Can I prevent lactose intolerance? As long as you’re not genetically predisposed to lactose intolerance, you should be able to digest lactose your whole life (barring illness or injury to your digestive tract), says Foroutan. And it's an important part of your diet: The USDA and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommend aiming for three servings of dairy per day. Cut dairy from your diet for an extended period of time, however, and you might wind up with sensitivities when you do eat it again. “ If you don’t use it, you lose it,” says Foroutan. Even then, you can teach your body to tolerate dairy again. “ You just have to go little by little,” she adds—following the same kind of re-introduction plan that you would for an elimination diet.
