What alternative milks work for you?

Posted by januaryjane @januaryjane, Apr 27 2:12am

I've always loved milk but within the past six years have become lactose intolerant.
I can eat ice cream and cheese but very small portions. My gut gives me grief with sour cream, yogurt and cream cheese. So I can't eat yogurt for the good probiotics!! (I loved my greek)

Recently I bought some almond milk with less sugar. (Tried to find organic but couldn't)
It was great, I had a small cup with breakfast two mornings in a row. Then my stomach turned on me.

Don't know if I'll ever be able to stomach even milk alternatives. Used to drink soy a long time ago but that eventually got to me.
Haven't tried others but I know a few are high in Fodmaps.
Has anybody had luck with any milk alternative, specifically?
I deal with ibs, gerd and motility issues.

Also, I use the A2 milk to make yogurt, with a small 1/2 cup per gallon of regular plain good yogurt with as many probiotics I can find. I use the lazy slow cooker method to make yogurt.

I have dealt with IBS for a very long time. Am lactose intolerant and have had problems post gallbladder surgery. A few years ago diagnosised with gastroparesis and have been on a variation of FADMAP.
I recently have landed on Soymilk tasting better than the others and is higher in protein.
I tolerate the almond yogurt in small amounts. What I have found is that it is a slow process of elimination - what works and what does not. Wishing you the best in this journey.

I have ibs-c, bad gerd and chronic recurring gastritis. I'm lucky at times to be able to stomach anything but water. So my elimination process seems endless, pointless at times!
