Over one-third of people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome report that they are also lactose intolerant to some degree. This raises a common and important question for many: Is lactose free cheese ok for IBS? The answer is often yes, but understanding the nuances of dairy and IBS is key to finding consistent relief without sacrificing flavor.

According to a study, up to 60% of people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) also report a sensitivity to dairy products, raising the common question: should I avoid lactose if I have IBS? While the two conditions are distinct, their symptoms can overlap, making it a crucial area to explore for better symptom management.
