Lactose intolerance does not mean you can’t take chocolate. Far from it. In fact, because lactose intolerance is completely different from milk allergy, there are varieties of milk chocolates that people with lactose intolerance can take and not those with dairy milk allergy. Only, you need to keenly study your food labels keenly and confirm that you are buying lactose-free chocolate. Lactose is just one of many elements in dairy and not milk itself. However, if you want to be totally safe, you may decide to totally avoid chocolates with dairy milk or its derivatives and this is perfectly okay. You will still be lost for choice thanks to the wide variety of chocolates, truffles, and pralines you will have to choose from.
