lactose tolerate what to use in place of milk and any good recipes?

Question

my mother in law has cancer and she can't eat anything with milk. and it is hard to cook without milk.

Answer 1

Another good option would be almond milk. It's quite tasty and comes in vanilla, chocolate and plain - either sweetened or unsweetened. It might even add something to your recipes because it has a better flavor than soy milk.

Blue Diamond almond milk is generally sold in the organic section of the grocery stores near the soy milk.

Here's a link to Blue Diamond that shows the packaging. They say you can use it cup for cup in place of regular milk.

BTW... I heat the chocolate for GREAT hot chocolate! A friend loves the vanilla on cereal.

Edited to add... I'm not an almond lover and don't find that it has an almond flavor, at least in the vanilla and chocolate.

Answer 3

There is a good lactose free milk on the market called Lactaid. You can cook with it like you can regular milk

Answer 4

There are a few different choices. Lactaide is great and tastes just like the real thing just with out the lactose factor, Silk ( soy milk ) is also a great choice, it comes in Original, Vanilla, and Chocolate ( I like the Vanilla one it tastes more like milk ). Good luck and My prayers are with you and your family.

Answer 5

There's also "rice milk"... Rice Dream is one brand, and it also comes in Vanilla flavor. You can buy it as cold milk with the other milk, or in unrefrigerated cartons near the dry milk on the baking aisle.

(My son has been using it for his lactose intolerance, when he doesn't take the Lactaid tabs before drinking regular milk.)

Answer 8

I use lactose-free milk. It has enzymes added to it to break down the milk sugar (lactose) into simpler, more easily-digested sugars. It's rather expensive around here, around $3.25 for a half-gallon. You can also buy the enzymes to add to your own milk, or enzyme tablets to chew before your first bite of dairy food at a pharmacy.

Answer 9

soy or rice milk will work in most things unless the milk needs to be boilded in which case those products seperate - my preference is almond milk which can be lightly heated but tastes like almonds which is only sometimes ok.

Answer 10

my mother has that disease that she cannot tolerate dairy products. she has to drink goats milk that seems to help. there are milk products out there for lactose intolerate people.
