Several persons with lactose intolerance can handle their symptoms without completely eliminating dairy products from their diet. Lactose intolerance is a group of symptoms caused by a lack of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose, a milk sugar. Symptoms appear after consuming lactose, which is found in dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, if you have this condition.

Some people are more sensitive to cheese because of lactose intolerance. It is an impaired ability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. Lactose is normally broken down by an enzyme called lactase, which is produced by cells in the lining of the small intestine.

People who are more sensitive to cheese are likely to be lactose intolerant! People with lactose cannot properly digest the lactase enzyme that is present in milk and milk products. So, an alternative is gorgonzola which has a very low amount of lactose because of the maturation time.
