CHEESE SENSITIVITY: EXPLORING THE CAUSES WITH NUTRITION PROFESSIONALS
Expert opinion from Alli Shircliff

Some people are more sensitive to cheese because of the lactose, the sugar found in cheese and dairy products. We all have varying levels of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down the lactose found in cheese and dairy products. Some people have lower levels of lactase in their bodies and have a harder time processing the lactose in cheese and therefore may experience digestive discomfort.

Several persons with lactose intolerance can handle their symptoms without completely eliminating dairy products from their diet. Lactose intolerance is a group of symptoms caused by a lack of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose, a milk sugar. Symptoms appear after consuming lactose, which is found in dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, if you have this condition.

Cheese is made from milk, which contains lactose. Lactose is digestible by an enzyme called lactase. Some individuals can not produce enough lactase therefore can not digest lactose.
