      At the grocery store I’ll buy almond/oat etc ice cream, but sometimes the ice cream shops only have dairy, or if I’m at friends/family and they only have regular ice cream.

      Lactose is in nearly everything from chips, to baked goods, to some random noodles, sauces, and everywhere in between.

      If I’m outside of the home and planning on eating I’m 100% strapped with lactose pills

        I’m allergic to milk and soy protein. Ain’t no lactase pills are gonna save me.

        I can digest lactose just fine. The issue is, if there’s milk protein, I’m getting gut inflammation for the next week or a month.

      The range of flavors is very limited for both lactose-free and vegan; mainly hovering around chocolate and vanilla.

        Planet Oat has some tasty varieties, I’m a big fan of their Blueberry Oat Crunch. Also, Dole Whip is dairy free as well and is getting more popular just about everywhere.

        Otherwise lactaid is always good if it helps you at all and you still want ice cream.

        Ben and Jerry’s has amazing stuff. They use soy lecithin sadly, so I’m still getting a mild allergic reaction, but definitely better than dairy.

    As I’m getting older, I have noticed that I can’t eat as much trash food as I used to without consequences. Lactose intolerance was annoying enough, but now It seems that I also have IBS.

    Getting older is sad…

    People who have never heard of milk free ice cream are a bliss. So much to learn about the world. Must be wonderful to experience all those incredible things every day.

    Lactaid brand ice creams tastes great, if anyone is curious.

      Doesn’t work for everyone, unfortunately. Lactose might not be the only thing in dairy that people have a reaction to.

        Yeah I was tested and am pretty borderline with lactose, but something else in milk messes me the hell up. Not going to skip out on ice cream though. That kinda just becomes a little problem for me and a bigger problem for those around me.

    This is my wife. She thought she had IBS yet entire life. Nope, just dairy. Plugs her up for days.

    Been a long time since I had one - milk or ice cream. My lactose intolerance is super bad up. Most Indians I know (e.g. my parents) still maintain that we can digest milk in its raw form when we can’t, genetically. Oh well!
