Foods for special dietary use are generally intended for healthy people who otherwise have special dietary needs (e.g.,
Lactaid milk for people with lactose intolerance) as compared to medical foods, which are used for the dietary management of a disease or other health conditions.
There is, for me particularly, gluten-free, sugar-free, organic, and
Lactaid milk and ice cream as well as antioxidants that definitely taste better-dark chocolates!
A half-gallon of
Lactaid lactose-free milk is cradled against her breast, and she grasps a cellophane-wrapped wheat sheaf, symbolic of the lilies of a van Eyck virgin.
One popular brand name is
Lactaid, which is available in tablets and liquid form.

Lactase enzyme supplements (LacDose[R],
LactAid Fast Act[R],
LactAid Ultra[R], LactAid[R], lactase enzyme, lactase fast acting, SureLac[R]) are readily available over-the-counter (OTC) (Drugs.com, 2016).
McNeil Consumer Healthcare remained the largest brand owner in digestive remedies in 2015 with a 22% value share, with brands such as Imodium, Pepcid and
Lactaid, each of which is the leading brand in its respective category: diarrhoeal remedies, H2 blockers and digestive enzymes respectively.
While private label products and the leading brands suffered declines in the three months ended September 8, the market got a lift from strong showings by GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK's) Tums Ultra and Johnson & Johnson's (J&J's)
Lactaid, both of which recorded double-digit gains.
Products that don't contain lactose (such as
Lactaid) can help people with lactose intolerance to consume dairy products.
Lactose-reduced milk (like "
Lactaid") is fine for people with lactose intolerance, but is not for people with milk allergy, because it still contains milk protein.
