    Having just been diagnosed as lactose intolerant, I have heard that wine contains lactose??

    Is this for both white and red wine, and is it for all wines or only some? How do you know?

    Dear Susan,

    I have been lactose intolerant since I was a little girl and so my experiences with dairy have been quite vast. I LOVE ALL THAT IS DAIRY and suffered quite a bit trying to convince myself that my reactions were from other sources ;) hehehe! Well now I am in my thirties and I have finally accepted that dairy and my body do not mix ;) I have read a lot and have experiemented a great deal on what agrees with me and what doesn´t… you will have to do the same as we are all different. In terms of wine, i have never heard of wine containing any dairy products or by-products. If you do feel badly after drinking red wine or coffee, you may have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and the tannins in the above do not agree with you. Many people who have IBS are lactose intolerant.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi Susan,

    I agree with Paola. I’ve never head of lactose in wine either. If you have symptoms from wine, possibly you should look into IBS.
