                                According to the National Institutes of Health, an estimated 68% of the world's population has lactose malabsorption, the underlying cause of lactose intolerance. For those with this condition, the question often arises: can I have bread if I'm lactose intolerant? The answer is not a simple yes or no, as it depends entirely on the ingredients used in the bread's preparation.
