    People with lactose intolerance should restrict their intake of dairy foods and other sources of lactose, which include foods containing whey; curds; milk by-products; dry milk solids; and nonfat dry milk powder.

    But then how do you get enough bone-enriching calcium? While it’s best to check with your doctor, here are some calcium-rich foods that are probably safe for the lactose-intolerant, provided by the University of Virginia Health System:

    Health Tips

    * Leafy green vegetables such as broccoli.

    * Fish such as salmon and sardines.

    * Yogurts with active cultures, which can help make the yogurt easier to digest.

    * Foods rich in vitamin D, such as eggs and liver, which help the body absorb calcium.
