What does it mean to be lactose intolerant?

Humans can’t digest lactose, or the sugar that makes up milk and cheese, as efficiently as some other animals. If you are lactose intolerant, your body can’t absorb the lactose in milk, which causes bloating, gas, and diarrhea. It also increases the risk of intestinal infections, such as Colitis. This can make it hard for some people to have milk products in their diet.

Okay, that's good to know. What are some alternatives to dairy milk then?
