Does lactose burn off?

I can eat some foods with milk in it like breads and such, but some foods will trigger those wonderful GI problems. I never know. One time I was eating PB cookies and got that reaction. I looked at the label and discovered there was milk in the PB. But like I said, I can eat breads and other foods that have milk. Why is this? Does the lactose somehow 'burn' out when getting cooked or baked?
I'm pretty new to lactose intolerence (just figured it out last fall) so any info would be great! :)

" i don't think it "burns off", but i do know that generally the higher the fat content of milk (& milk products), and the more it's aged (like cheeses) usually results in a lower lactose content.

my best advice is to do your research (google is your friend!), and ask a LOT of questions. LI is more common than most people think! the info is out there, you just have to find it. on that same note though, don't believe everything you read. always always get a second, third, even fourth opinion.

good luck! "
