3. What may have caused me to develop this condition?
   
   
4. Does milk intolerance pose any danger to my overall health?
   
   
5. What are my treatment options?
   
   
6. What foods/ingredients should I avoid? Are there some dairy products that are less likely to cause symptoms?
   
   
7. Can I continue to eat dairy products if I use a lactase pill?
   
   
8. Is it safe for me to eat small amounts of dairy?
   
   
9. Should I take a calcium supplement?
   
   
10. Are my children likely to develop milk intolerance as well?
