Lactose in enough quantities gets my tummy rumbling in a bad way so I’m trying out alternatives.
Oat milk in hipster coffee drinks is pretty good.
Soy milk as a protein and calcium beverage is fine. Tastes OK.
There is lactose-free milk too but that is still suspect. Either it’s not all the way lactose free or too much of any kind of dairy quakes my intestines.
God bless ya, I tried drinking unsweetened almond milk after I got diagnosed diabetic and I thought my taste buds stopped working because it tasted like nothing. Not in the way that water “tastes like nothing,” but like, in a way where the only stimulus I got was mouthfeel. It was weird.
