Lactose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose, and it provides a source of carbohydrates and energy for the body. People who have lactose intolerance, however, are unable to digest this sugar because they lack the enzyme lactase.

Alternative sources of lactose-free milk and dairy products are available for those who cannot consume traditional milk sugar.
