1) Eat and drink smaller servings of milk, but eat more often. Over the portion is small, the less chance of having bowel problems.
2) Eat something when you drink milk. This will slow the digestive process, reducing your risk of bowel problems.
3) Find the low-fat milk lactose or lactose-free. It is normal milk, including lactose is already broken (damaged). But read the labels carefully before buying. The reduced-lactose milk has 70% less lactose compared to milk without lactose, which contains only about 1% lactose.
4) Add the lactase to regular milk. Buy lactase liquid and add a few drops to your milk.
5) Take extra special counter (lactase tablets) when you eat a dairy product. This supplement will help you absorb and reduce symptoms.
6) The hard cheese is low in lactose. It is rich in saturated fats, however, so do not eat too much. Cottage cheese is also low in lactose, but he is not rich in calcium.

Also note that the buttermilk and acidophilus milk, although fermented, can still cause so much pain in many people as plain milk.
Cheese and yogurt are better tolerated because the lactose they contain is already partially hydrolyzed by bacteria.

For example, take a few sips of milk or eat a little cheese and wait to see how your body reacts. Symptoms usually take 30 minutes to 2 hours (after ingestion) to appear, but they can save 2-3 days also.
