Questions on Lactaid and Lactose free milk?!

You can take Lactaid, or you can buy Lactaid drops to add to regular milk, which can be more affordable if you are a big milk drinker.

Even if you are sensitive to a lot of medications, you might not have a problem with lactaid because it mostly consists of an enzyme which is naturally occurring in the human body.

There's no reason to take Lactaid or buy lactose-free milk. Your body is telling you not to drink milk; listen to it! You don't need it. It's not a necessary supply of calcium; in fact, most commercial milk actually leaches calcium OUT of your bones and is tied to many chronic and serious illnesses.

If you want to use a milk-type product, try rice or almond milk. Soy milk is highly allergenic, and I honestly can't vouch for rice or almond milk, either. I just don't react to it as badly.

I haven't drunk milk for approximately 20 years. I am menopausal, light-boned, and pretty sedentary. Yet my bones are at 95% density. When I was drinking milk, they were at 85% density. I also don't get ear infections or sinus infections anymore, and recover more quickly from the flu. So I hope you'll listen to me!

good question Annie
I'm not but my father-in-law is and he is quite successful. He has no problem with lactose free milk. And the pills usually work if you take them far enough ahead of time. He loves ice cream and strangely enough he can eat that without pills. You might want to try that.
Also I can tell you that cheese (especially hard cheese like cheddar, swiss) don't have much lactose in them and you might try them.
Be careful of yogurt, its got as much lactose as milk
