Lactose is the sugar naturally found in the milk of animal origin (and its derivatives). When the body produces no (or low) of the enzyme called lactase, the lactose in milk cannot be digested, i.e. cannot be converted into energy in our body. This can cause many effects such as gas, abdominal distension and pain, diarrhea (after eating foods with lactose), and so on.

If this is your case, you should not worry because animal milk is not essential in the diet, many foods substitutes as much as to properties and nutritional elements, and are also very rich, suitable for preparing all type of food. Within these foods are soy milk, milk of almonds, rice, etc.. Below we share some recipes so you have variety in the lunch hour.
