It was a nice thought

I would not be good at long term lactose intollerance anymore. I bought the Silk's soy yogurt. I bought the almond milk... shiver. These things are not for me. Thank you very kindly to my friends for all the suggestions. I am thinking whole wheat muffing and peanut butter and/or with apple is my friend. 
with that in mind, does anyone want a strawberr and a blueberry soygurt and possibly a mostly full container of almond milk?

The milk replacements suck, quite frankly. In something they aren't so bad, but alone they just don't cut it.

What about Lactaid milk in the meantime? I find it usually works OK for me, unless my body is throwing a temper tantrum.

Originally, I didn't find lactaid milk worked for me, but I can always try again. I'm mostly wishing for the yogurt to make my breakfast possible.

If you're up for a bit of a cooking adventure, you can make your own yogurt out of Lactaid milk. It doesn't set up as well as regular-milk yogurt, but it will set up. Last I checked, you can get yogurt culture at Whole Foods.

When I get home let me post a recipe for my mom's healthy muffins with protein and stuff. When I was wee I hated breakfast food. My mom made these tasty muffins which stealthily had protein and health.

People have been shocked, SHOCKED to find out they are good for you.

awesome! Stealth protein sounds great

If we weren't going away this weekend we'd take it off your hands. Probably stupid to load up on perishables then go away, though.

Sorry it didn't work out for you.

I don't remember if you've ever tried/expressed an opinion on goat's milk? I find it close enough to cow milk that I can tolerate it whereas I loathe the soy and nut milks.

They'll probably last past the weekend if you want to take them after you get back. I expect they'll still be here. You headed to Philly?
Goat milk? I've not tried that recently. Cheese was fun for a bit back in the day

[drwex]

OK we'll ping you Tues about the status of the items.

Goat milk available from TJs in small sizes if you want to make an experiment.

I feel your pain (truly) I am kind of lactose intolerant, something about how milk is processed. I can eat cheese and yogurt and and have half & half in my coffee but no milk even ice cream if I have to much... no chocolate milk I miss that most. LOL, I have a milkshake once in a wile but I pay dearly for it... Chuckle... I cant do soy at all (I'm actually allergic to soy beans). Sigh, but almond milk that's just silly sounding... and gross too.

I was lactose intollerant for about 10 years, then found Lactagen, which totally worked, but you have to keep having milk stuffs to keep the flora alive, which was not much of an option in July when I was eating almost nothing while sick :P Unfortunately to re-up, it's at least 100 bucks. But! When I'm done: milkshakes baby!!
If your reaction is GI unhappiness, you might want to save up for the same treatment. If you do, lemme know and I'll give you a referral so they give a discount.

i'm *very* fond of almond milk, but not so much yogurt. i don't suppose the almond milk is available?

[mizarchivist]

It can be. I'd be surprised if I make use of it. It's mostly a matter of transporting it, I think.

i could arrange to be at diesel next tuesday, if it's likely to stay good that long. otherwise, i'm here and free this weekend, and...er, i seem to think that where i live (arlington heights, right by the lexington border) is going to be closer to your dwellingplace than more camberville places.

hey.....
