Newcomer, A. D., Park, H. S., O Brien, P. C. and McGill, D. B. 1983. Response of patients with irritable bowel syndrome and lactase deficiency using unfermented acidophilus milk. Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 38, 257-263. 

Various types of fermented milks, including yogurt, acidophilus milk, and cheese, generally contain less lactose than unfermented milk. The reduction upon fermentation has been reported to be from 20-50 percent. However, it should be noted that commercial yogurt contains more lactose than does milk because milk is fortified with dry milk solids before fer-... 

It has also been demonstrated that culture-containing dairy products, such as sweet acidophilus milk (Lactobacillus acidophilus cells added to unfermented milk and refrigerated), may be useful in the management of lactose intolerance. Kim and Gilliland (1983) investigated the effect of added Lactobacillus acidophilus cells of human origin on lactose utilization from milk by lactose malabsorbers. Three cell levels (2.5 x 10, 2.5 x 10, and 2.5 x 10 /ml) were used. The test subjects consumed 5 ml/kg...
