Some foods and drinks can cause minor to severe problems for people in ways that do not involve the immune system.  This is called an “intolerance” -these food related problems can produce uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating, abdominal cramping, gas and diarrhea.  Lactose intolerance is a common condition that occurs when there is insufficient lactase (enzyme) to digest the milk sugar lactose. 

People with lactose intolerance may be able to eat some cheeses and drink certain modified milk, such as Lactaid™. Managing lactose intolerance requires some dietary changes, although total elimination of milk products usually is not necessary.

Jugo Juice and lactose intolerance

Jugo Juice smoothies, beverages, and wraps can be acceptable for people with lactose intolerance as they can sometimes tolerate a small amount of lactose and are typically aware of how much they can eat.

Jugo Breakfast, Sunshine Breakfast, Bigwig Breakfast, Berry Binge, Passionate Perfection and Righteous Red all contain fresh yogurt added at the time of blending. To enjoy these selections without milk, just ask for a no milk version and we’ll add juice or soy milk instead of yogurt.
