@jenniferhunter I definitely do not have a gluten problem. I know something beyond lactose is bothering me, or perhaps I am eating something that has lactose hiding in it, although I do not eat many things where that could be possible.

I LOVE ice cream but somehow, I can do without it. My daughter and her husband love ice cream so I always have some in the house when they visit but I never even think of eating it when they are not here. When they are here I will take one spoonful of it when they are eating it. If I do get a craving though I will look for So Delicious. I am using a non-dairy creamer now that has coconut milk in it, Califia, and it's OK -- I would still prefer real half and half.
