Hi Daisy - my sister is lactose intolerant also, and she drinks goat's milk - no consequences so far!!! 🙂 Hope this helps!! She said it even tastes better than what she had been using.
Just don’t to Reclast infusion! I have hurt worse the 5 months after having it than I did from back surgery!

@anatomary
appreciate your situation . I have begun to lean heavily towards lactose free cows milk and get 13 gms of protein that I could not match with nut milks.
@daylemaples Thanks for the info, I 'll give it a try!
@daisy17 Thanks for the reply; I will look into Seen Calcium Chews. I am new to supplements and to me a dollar a day to improve my bone health doesn't sound too bad. My bone specialist recommended Tymlos for two years to boost bone density and then Fosamax to lock in - but I am leary of the side-effects and don't like the idea of being on anything long term. Then there is the possibility of reversal of effect (loss of bone mineral) when going off Fosamax. A lot to take in...
@anatomary
try Fairlife brand. 390 mg calcium and 13 gm protein per 8 oz
Cheers- will do!
What people don’t realize is that they may be cow casein intolerant, as well as lactose intolerant. I ate lactose-free feta cheese one day and got a horrible stomach ache and figured out that I was also cow casein intolerant! So I’ve been slowly figuring out over six years what I can and can’t do. I seem to be OK with Greek yogurt with the lactose skimmed off even when they do come from cows as long as I don’t eat too much. So check into your family ancestry and if they did all the key for yogurt, Bulgarian sheep feta stuff they were probably casein intolerant as well as lactose intolerant. I prefer dairy so things like Munster cheese and cheese is aged for two years and everything fermented is fine for me. About the calcium if you are intolerant of dairy and casing, then you won’t be absorbing what you need to and you will get better bio availability from the sheep and goat products. However, as far as calcium goes, most people get enough calcium. It’s just that their body is not absorbing it out of what they eat so you do need to carefully select the food you eat and remember that although your bones need calcium, they don’t get it directly so if you eat extra calcium, he might just be peeing it out. What you really need is a good carrier to get the calcium to your bones like hormones and exercise. As extra insurance, I prefer the bone medicines because even though I get DEXA scans regularly every year for 30 years, it didn’t prepare my surgeon for my cervical spine bone falling apart in his Fingers. I’ll go for the yucky bone medicines thank you very much!
