Lactose-free sweets

Lactose, also known as milk sugar, is a sugar found in dairy products. Chemically speaking, lactose is a disaccharide consisting of the two sugar components glucose and galactose. It plays an important role in the diet of mammals as it is an important source of energy. In people with lactose intolerance, however, the digestion of lactose can be impaired.

Lactose is mainly found in milk and dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, cheese and cream. It can also occur in processed foods where milk or milk components are used as ingredients. It is important to check the ingredients list of products to ensure that they do not contain hidden lactose.

Lactose is another term for lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. Milk sugar consists of the two types of sugar glucose and galactose and is absorbed by the enzymatic breakdown of lactose during digestion in the intestine.

If you are lactose intolerant, it is advisable to avoid milk-based foods or choose lactose-free alternatives. These include lactose-free dairy products, plant-based milk alternatives, lactose-free chocolate and other sweets without lactose. Fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and cereal products are generally well tolerated.

Lactose-free sweets are sweets that are specifically produced without lactose to allow people with lactose intolerance to enjoy them without any worries. When choosing lactose-free sweets, care should be taken to use lactose-free dairy products or plant-based alternatives. These include hard candies, chewy candies, cookies, bars, chocolate and other treats that are deliberately produced without lactose. The "lactose-free" label on the packaging ensures that these sweets can be enjoyed without worrying about triggering the symptoms of lactose intolerance.
