Who 'ere is lactose intolerant?
And knows of a decent "alternative" shop?
I've never been an overly sweet person (hehe) but ever since I have developed this intolerance, I stand and gaze at the choc's and ice creams everytime I go shopping. Tesco's do some alternatives but they taste like crap. And there's zero variety. Online searches yield naff all. I need to sate my thirst for ice ceam and choc. I'll probably remmeber why I didnt like it that much in the first place once I have tasted it but til then... THE HUNT IS ON |

I seem to remember the Swedish Glace dairy-free ice-cream being OK. My ex used to like it. Tescos used to sell it, but I haven't bought any in ages.

Re: Who 'ere is lactose intolerant?
I bought that last week. It's ok I guess.
The milk free choclate buttons they sell are horrible. ...And thats about as far as Tesco go, in terms of variety. I miss mint choc chip and nutty ice cream sundaes! |
Re: Who 'ere is lactose intolerant?
Is that not a medication you can take so you can eat dairy? Someone I worked i'm sure they took something like this...he drank milk ect.

Most plain chocolate is dairy free. I believe that After Eights are too. Got any vegan friends? They're always very clued-up about non-dairy products. |

Re: Who 'ere is lactose intolerant?
Hi, have had with this for about 20 years. I know what Casey Stoner went through a couple of years ago. I was so ill my employer prepared all the death in service paperwork, though they didn't tell me until after I made the discovery that milk was what was making me ill and started getting better. Doc's were bloody useless....
Anyway - you'll be surprised what you can still eat. Just because it says contains milk doesn't mean it'll always have an effect. However, only test out one thing at a time, you'll soon work out if you react to it. The bad news is that it can take a week or so to get back to normal if you do react.... Milk, cream, ice cream are a complete no. You may find that you're ok with hard cheeses, but not with soft cheeses such as cottage cheese. Chocolate isn't a problem for me, but if you're offering, plain is preferred.... > 80% if possible Alternatives - Milk - You can get Lactose Free milk from most major supermarkets. I don't bother with it, but my wife uses it. Ice Cream - only thing I've found is Coconut Milk Ice Cream Cream/Custard etc - if you can be bothered, find a kosher shop, they have some reasonable alternatives as you can't have meat and milk in the same meal. So they're very good at non-dairy puds. Most supermarkets have alternatives but I can't be bothered to try all of them as I've got used to "dry" puds. Some of the soya creams are quite nice though. There was very little around in the way of alternatives when I first found I had this and I've got used to dry puds, you'll find that if you leave it a couple of months you'll forget what real dairy stuff tastes like and find the alternatives aren't so bad.

Not tried it as I'm not lactose intolerant, but I saw this at the supermarket and remembered her pitching her frozen dessert on dragon's den and it was good enough to get their investment.

you want lactase enzyme. you can get drops for milk too, drop some in, leave over night and you can drink as normal in the morning.
