im looking for a alternative to milk?

You sound like me, though i don't drink milk but crazy about milk products but unfortunately and ironically I'm allergic to milk. But I did found alternatives low fat milk, I can stand milk that has like 1.5% fat; I use it to make my drinks and other things. Though the products that really need fat milk I still eat them but not often, you must know your limits. Our bodies cannot digest milk as was able to do when we were babies, a special enzyme is needed and it decreases when we get older. Anyways you just need to be just careful, cutting off your favorite foods.. it's a bit to harsh. I personally know that I can stand normal milk (of even milk directly from the cow) only like 2 days maximum, also the if the milk is mixed with other ingredients it will allow em to enjoy the pleasure of this food for a week, but I need to make a pause so I won't end up having allergic symptoms. Unfortunately low fat milk isn't that consistent as the other milk type, it is a little watery but still try it cause it's not that watery. It is like milk but it is made for us (well not exactly lol)to still enjoy the pleasures of a tasty diet (and healthy too). There is also a soia based milk but I use it as a little treat (either I drink it or make some special drinks with it). But why doesn't your doctor want to test you if you are allergic to it or not?

I used to be the same Jarael. I used to love everything dairy and although I did not think I had any problems with it at the time. I certainly feel much better without it. In my opinion there is nothing that tastes the same as cows milk. But how does cows milk taste naturally? Nothing like what we buy in the store! You are enjoying the taste of the chemicals. Soy products are not too bad tasting, but I do not agree with soy as a dairy replacement as too much soy is bad for your health and people that replace dairy with soy products generally have too much of it. I have tried rice milk and did not like that either as it seemed to watery. I prefer almond milk myself as almonds are far healthier than soy or rice and I enjoy the taste. I know that you can buy almond milk from the supermarkets here, but I have never bought it from a store as I have always made my own. I make it every second day using a blender. I buy almonds by the box and soak them overnight before using them as you get more enzymes from them that way. After rinsing them, I fill up the blender quarter to half full of almonds, then top up with water and blend. I then strain it through a nut milk bag. I have also made milk from raw cashews, Brazil nuts and coconuts. All of which are delicious.

I'm allergic to milk too and I drink soy milk. They come in vanilla and chocolate if you don't like the regular. I think they also have strawberry but I can never find any. But some people have a soy allergy too so you can always try almond milk as an alternative. Ask your doctor. He/she may have more options.

i guess you need to try a tea perhaps as its also a healthy drink. most chinesse people drink tea and they have long life as most old people there are still alive 90 and above age. they said that tea is also a natural medicine to take away all toxins and impurity.

well friend you can have skimmed milk of many flavours like strawberry,chochlate,then you can have drink yougurt,its very digestive,i htink the milk you are having may not be hygenic!!

isn't there a new form of almond milk that's if your not allergic to peanuts. LOL!!!

A good alternative to milk is soya drink, Even this soya has more protein that milk has....

oh, the same to me too . I am a super fan of milk . I love milk very much .my favorite dairy product is yoghurts . I drink milk from I was a baby . but I found that I got allergic after I ate dairy product last year. it made me upset .but I can not find a way to cure it . so now I seldom eat dairy products for it make me uncomfortable

I have some relatives that are allergic to milk and milk products. So they just buy those soy milk products. Now they come in all kinds of different flavors with plain Soy milk or a different kind mixed with chocolate. I prefer the sweetened soy milk to just the plain soy milk.

I think you have to try yogurt w/c most Arabian people like it. Maybe its weird taste but it comes from milk.

You might find that you are alright with yoghurt but not milk. There is soya milk that comes in bottles and cartons. Fruit juice is nice on cereal for a change.

You can try soy milk its good for person with lactose tolerance. My auntie buy the machine for $150 its taste really good and you can made various food with soy milk. I have tried goat milk and the taste really not good. You can make porridge from it. My auntie often make yogurt from soy milk too.

Hi jareal, i too like milk and milk products so i used to take daily. Now at this age of 39 i am getting allergy. I consulted my family doctor, she told me that there is a fat in your stomach if you take more fatty food than it will become a problem for digestion also. So better stop taking milk and milk products and go for soya milk, coconut milk, or rage malt etc., So you also can try these and see.

have you tried soya milk? it like milk as well but more pasteurized and taste good as well. It is advisable for those who are on a diet to take it

I do not know if you would like to try some soy milk. It is made from soy beans and the color looks like milk (white) but I know they come in different flavors too like chocolate, melon, strawberry. Our you could just try a non-dairy milk, I think my officemate who goes to the bathroom everytime she eats something creamy bought that one.

My sister has milk allergies, she drinks soy milk. I've never had it before so I don't know how it tastes, but she said she likes it alot.

I don't think there's anything as good as milk. You're gonna have to find another craving that satisfies you to satisfy your need for milk. Try eating fruit like banana or something.

Hi welcome to mylot Why don't you try soy milk, many say it tastes so good like milk, one can make curd from it, it is not from any animal sourse, and what about coconut milk.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

Excess of any thing is bad, so control and reduce quantity of milk products and have homeopathic medicines as that will be very much helpful in allergic cases. Take Cow milk that is good and easy to digest, divert urself towards fruit and vegetable juices. Follow these surely u will be getting benifitted.
