there are many options. i've been lactose intolerant since 1996 (we'll that's when i figured it out).
anyway, there are many brands of soymilk & not all of them are great. you are going to have to experiment & see which one you like. for plain soymilk I like WestSoy. for chocolate milk I like Silk.
you can also get:
rice milk (yum)
almond milk (yum)
hemp milk (i didn't like this, plus it's expensive)
oat milk (suprisingly good)
hazelnut milk (haven't tried yet)
Go to your local healthfood store or Whole Foods.
Good luck!
Try Rice Milk! I have the same problem. :p Rice milk is good though. And they have a veggie cheese that tastes JUST like regular cheese. When you're lactose intolerant it takes a little more discipline, but trust me - it CAN be done. Plus, by just making little changes in your diet you won't have to take lactaid or whatever to help your belly.
i think i am too,but if i drink lactaide i get a stomach ache and im gassy too.however milk ,yogurt and cheese doesnt bother me ! go figure!
