Can pregnancy cure lactose intolerance?

Question

I have always been lactose intolerant but lately ive been able to drink a bit of milk without issues. Now im pregnant and wondering if pregnancy actually changed something? Bit curious if this happened to anyone else.

Hormones can temporarily change how you digest things, but keep an eye on blood sugars if you shift to full dairy products.

Wait, really? I am lactose intolerant too and actually noticed I can digest dahi better now, is this temporary?

Manorama Dubey · Answer

I heard some women's digestion changes during pregnancy, but please be careful. After my C-section, gut issues were hard to manage, so don't experiment too much.

Sometimes body changes a lot during these nine months. Try small amounts of dairy first to see if it suits you.

Pregnancy does miraculous things to our bodies, honestly! I could easily drink milk during those months, though the intolerance returned after delivery.
