I’m lactose intolerant and have no issue with cheese and gelato in Italy. Most Italian cheeses have little to no lactose. Not sure what the case is with gelato but it doesn’t seem to have an effect on me (this is anecdotal). Also pizza in Italy does not have as much cheese as in other parts of the world.

- jdswain 6y agoCheese is low in lactose, and gelato is too, it's mainly sugar with only a little bit of milk. Someone I know, who is lactose intolerant, believes that frozen milk isn't as bad, I've not found any scientific evidence of this, so it's probably not true, but she thinks she is more tolerant of frozen milk products, so maybe there is some reason?
- porknubbins 6y agoThere is also not that much milk in a serving of ice cream since it is usually less than the 1:1 with amount of cream, typically 2:1 cream to milk, plus sugar, stabilizers, flavorings. A milkshake would be much more milk though I’d think.
