I am lactose intolerant. I use Lactaid milk. When I am out and want a Latte, I get it with soy or rice milk. I really prefer the taste of rice milk, it is not chalky like soy milk can be. I really limit sour cream, cottage cheese and ice cream. I seem to tolerate Yogurt so I eat that and frozen yogurt. Yogurt can be yummy on cold cereal, and even hot oatmeal. Get the apple flavor and mix it with some cinnamon and put it on the hot oatmeal for a yummy treat. Hard cheese does not bother me at all. Be cautious of the chain ice cream stores. The frozen yogurt at Baskin Robbins bothers me, but the TCBY does not. I suspect TCBY might not be real dairy? Either that or Baskin Robbins is masquerading low or non fat ice cream for the yogurt. You will see what I mean when you start experimenting at these places! You might try Ranch dressing instead of sour cream on your potatoes. I think it is yummy. Can't think of any more hints right now. Oh, the best of all, you can buy Lactaid tablets. there are other brands but I like the Lactaid. Chew one with the first bite of dairy and you should not experience significant discomfort from eating the dairy. It contains the enzymes that our bodies lack to digest the dairy. Hope I have been of some help!
