I am also lactose intolerant I am not a big milk drinker at all! but whenever I do have milk it's usually the fat free skim milk it doesn't seem to have that thick milk taste like 2% milk.. atleast thats what I think, and i've had this since I was born...I am a huge cheese fan and I still eat dairy and just deal with the stomache ache's and also don't have a huge portion just a little bit. I pay the most for ice cream and thats my fav!
