Is it possible to heal lactose intolerance? I wondered if bacteria that is missing or low in the small intestine could be improved so that the body can process lactose. I recently had gastro 4months ago and used to consume a lot of dairy. I now no longer can consume dairy and have been diagnosed with lactose intolerance. If I do the reboot your biome and remove and repair do you think it is possible to heal the small intestine to be able to consume dairy? Thanks.

As I understand it there are two forms of lactose intolerance: ‘classic’, whereby one cannot process lactose beyond infanthood (genetic, common in East Asians).

Or whereby lactose (milk sugar) irritates the gut due to some issue with the microbiome or damage to the gut itself (acquired).

There seem to be some intolerants who can tolerate a small amount of lactose, *providing* it is taken with or after certain probiotics. Be that capsule format or live fermented dairy.
