Dare to Control lactose intolerance

I've had good luck with Cabot Vermont cheeses, which they carry at my local grocery chain. They are also listed as "0 grams of lactose per serving" rather than "lactose-free," but they've worked for me. My mom is very lactose intolerant, and she makes grilled cheese sandwiches with this stuff and loves it. Thanks for the tip on Finlandia.

you might not be lactose intolerant. Do lactaid pills work for you? I was mis-diagnosed for a year and continued to be sick when I ate dairy. Then I was properly diagnosed as cacian intolderant - it's the protein found in milk and milk products. So even though it's super low in lactose or lactose free (which really just means it has lactaid added to it), it still will make you sicky.

I have not found any good cheese substitutes. I've learned to live without it, and I was once a huge cheese fan. After awhile you don't miss it so much anymore. I even order pizza sans cheese, and it's delicious and very little fat.

I am extremely lactose intolerant and have been for years. Typically those us who cannot tolerate cows milk can have goat cheese and sheep cheeses, the lactose from goat and sheep is not the same as a cow, so typically goat and sheep are good alternatives if you love cheese, that will not have the same effect as the cow cheeses.

Many of you will already know, but if you want safe cheese you can eat Parmigiano Reggiano, as aged as possible. I put it everywhere, it's wonderful also on pizza, quite expensive though.
Their info: "Lactose is transformed into lactic acid at the very beginning of the maturation process as part of the process of lowering the acidity level of the cheese as a whole"

Yogurt is safe for us! The cultures have consumed the lactose in the dairy. Eating my greek yogurt most days has actually helped my tolerance of other dairy, in fact.

For next time you crave chocolate... try dark chocolate! Most dark chocolate has less or no milk products. Dove dark chocolate bars are sooo yummy and creamy. I made the switch to dark chocolate years ago when I first started having problems with dairy, but I couldn't give up the chocolate... now milk chocolate tastes wimpy and too sweet to me, not nearly chocolatey enough! LOL And there are LOTS of great non-dairy ice creams out there too, try some! Purely Decadent has both soy milk and coconut milk ice creams, I like the coconut best, it's so rich and creamy! Luna and Larry's is also a great coconut milk ice cream. Rice Dream is also yummy.

Nope, it's not weight related at all. Your body likely doesn't produce the enzyme lactase anymore, which breaks down the lactose so you can digest it. As a result, since your body can't break it down, it "expels" it.

You can take supplements and probiotics to break down the lactose for you, but they don't always work and they're expensive. I'd recommend looking for alternative items to buy like coconut ice cream and soy cheeses.

Have you tried any of the alternatives? How about lactase supplements? They're expensive and don't work for everyone but it's worth a try.

You are probably lactose intolerant, it's common for people who stop consuming it over a period of time to become intolerant because your body stops producing the enzymes to break it down since it doesn't need them anymore. Unfortunately, people rarely ever begin producing them again, although some women find that during and after a pregnancy they can tolerate milk again.

You can get a test from your doctor to know for sure.

The icing for sure-- most of it is just cream and sugar.

I even found lactose in many generic brands of Imodium-- kinds defeats the purpose of taking it for me... Fortunately I've recently started taking levsin (prescribed by my doctor) and it's worked wonders on allowing me to eat small amounts again.

Me too, to ALL of it! No milk, no soy makes life very complicated and eating at restaurants nearly impossible. I ask a lot of questions and the waiters/waitresses get noticeably annoyed and my company seems uncomfortable...I even had to stop taking my birth control pills because they contained lactose. To add to it, I've also discovered allergies to apples, bananas, onions, olives, coffee, pears, hops (boo) and a few other things. I rely heavily on rice, almond and coconut products. I feel your pain.

I'm right there with you on the SO Delicious coconut milk ice cream. It is so delicious that I am a bit addicted. Good thing I work out. As far as milk goes, I am happy with Almond Breeze almond beverage. It has worked great for everything I've used it for and I drink it by the glass.
