Lactose in enough quantities gets my tummy rumbling in a bad way so I’m trying out alternatives.

Oat milk in hipster coffee drinks is pretty good.

Soy milk as a protein and calcium beverage is fine. Tastes OK.

There is lactose-free milk too but that is still suspect. Either it’s not all the way lactose free or too much of any kind of dairy quakes my intestines.

    So even lactose free milk makes me queasy, not the first time but if I drink it every day for a few days (e.g with cereal or in a shake)

    Both oat milk and pea protein milk gave me weird intestinal cramps after a few weeks of drinking them.

    I really dislike the taste of soy milk. (I don’t mind tofu, but to me it’s weird in coffee or cereal)

    So I’ve settled on unsweetened vanilla almond milk. It’s the local store brand.

      God bless ya, I tried drinking unsweetened almond milk after I got diagnosed diabetic and I thought my taste buds stopped working because it tasted like nothing. Not in the way that water “tastes like nothing,” but like, in a way where the only stimulus I got was mouthfeel. It was weird.
