According to statistica.com, India is the second-largest consumer of cow’s milk in the world. Milk possesses great qualities that aid digestion, metabolic response to absorbed nutrients, growth and development of specific organs and resistance to disease, apart from these factors, it is a powerhouse of nutrients. Many people suffer from an intolerance of a disaccharide present in milk called lactose. Some ill-effects of being unable to digest lactose is bloating, diarrhea, nausea, borborygmi and abdominal pain. This is a sample survey of a small heterogeneous population (n=211) to understand Lactose Intolerance awareness in India. This study aims to understand the awareness of Lactose Intolerance (LI) among common Indian people and if they can detect their symptoms associated with LI. A survey method was used for this study.71.5% of the respondents knew the term LI. 78.7% of the respondents did not experience the listed symptoms. 21.3% of those who observed symptoms, observed bloating apart from other listed symptoms. Also, when asked if they would try lactosefree alternatives, 59.7% of the respondents chose yes. This may conclude that even though milk products are consumed on a large-scale in India, many do not suffer from LI. Those suffering from common symptoms associated with LI are willing to consume the alternatives. This also shows that there is adequate endorsement and awareness about the availability of alternatives to milk products. There is no such study available in literature, hence these results could provide a baseline data for further research in this area.
