alternatives to cows milk

[loggy01]

My husband can no longer tolerate cows milk and is having to have toast for breakfast iinstead of cereal and milk and black tea etc - he is desparately missing milk in tea. Can anyone recommend a milk alternative that doesn't taste too bad. We have tried soya milk - no good!! Has anyone tried rice milk?

Have you tried goats milk, a bit different but its still tasty milk, its very good for you and you can freeze it.

Quick answer, thank you. I haven't tried goats milk but have tried goats cheese which left an aftertaste. Will give it a go so he can have a cup of tea with milk in.

well try marvel, it is still sold and as it is so altered it most probably is fine.

I was on a cows milk free diet years ago and goats milk is great, no taste difference to me, only problem back then was finding it, Asda used to sell it. I'm sure he knows theres cows milk in loads of things though e.g biscuits etc, but some supermarkets mark the packets now as suitable for cows milk free.

I actually had to start buying soy milk, because I'm lactose intolerant. I get the Westsoy brand Vanilla for my cereal and I can't taste a difference.

Camels milk is susposed to be nice according to some woman on gordan ramsays show but its not available here yet so this answer is pretty pointless

I don't drink cows milk ..lacto intolerant. On cereal you can't beat Oatly milk.They sell it in Tescos. You can put it in tea but I dont think any
other milk tastes the same in tea so I have black tea with lemon.You get used to it !

Is he definitely lactose intolerant, or is it just that milk makes him poorly? I suffer from the latter. I have found organic milk doesn't affect me.

Otherwise, most supermarkets I go to sell goat's milk now. And there was a bit on Ramsey's f-word about camel milk being the 'next big thing'.

My husband is not lactose intolerant but has the embarrassing problem in that shortly after having milk in tea, yoghurt or even butter on his toast he develops a terrible sour taste in his mouth and his breath smells absolutely horrible. If he doesn't have milk, i.e. black tea it is fine.

my little girl is dairy allergic and soya allergic. She drinks Rice Dream which is a rice milk. I think alprovemel? also make one. Rice dream make one which has also got almonds and hazelnuts in and is just yummy, esp in coffee.

I don't have milk in tea nymore, it took me ages to get used to it, but now I have and I love it.

it's available in tesco and also sommerfield, which is useful
