Lactose Intolerance

Be prepared to read the word puss over and over again. If any of the usual people are on.

Sorry, no, I'm white.

I have mild lactose intolerance, I can't drink milk and some cheeses bloat me. I just buy milk without lactose.

There's your problem.

actual cheese doesn't have any lactose remaining so you can eat that without issue.

Lactose free milk, butter, and cream cheese supposedly exist. Finding them is the hard part.

Soy/nut milk, non hydrogenated margarine, and vegan cream cheese are some alternatives.

There's a ton of foods in the American market that cater to specific non-faddish health concerns.

Winn-Dixie, Publix, and Aldi all carry certain variations of the items you listed, but they cost a bit more than their dairy-laden counterparts.

Subsidies are fun.

I'm Irish and lactose intolerance is unheard of.

Honestly, I stopped eating yogurt, cream and drinking milk. Cheese was fine, but soft cheese wasn't great. Butter is also fine. I drank almond and rice milk for a while with tea, but just had black tea instead. Dairy is like a third of our diets, so it was hard.

My gas and acne is gone.

Lactase. As in, the enzyme you're missing because you don't have the bacteria in your gut that make it.

You can buy it in tablets if you shop around carefully. You might need several, and once you take it it will help you digest lactose for about 20 minutes.

It doesn't work well alongside alcohol, and I'm not kidding about needing several.

Think of it as a treat - when you really, really want real ice-cream instead of Swedish Glace (a soya-based one), or really nice cake.

Sadly, this depends on the cheese.

Arla make a bunch of lactose-free dairy products (again, the trick is simple: add lactase). The cream cheese sucks (Philidephia used to do a lactose-free version but it seems to be gone, unfortunately) - the others are fine.
