Why don’t you just eat ice cream without milk in it… I mean, I haven’t looked, but it’s bound to be a thing by now. 🤷
anyone else? i made this to represent my struggle.

At the grocery store I’ll buy almond/oat etc ice cream, but sometimes the ice cream shops only have dairy, or your at friends/family and they only have regular ice cream.
Lactose is in nearly everything from chips, to baked goods, to some Asian noodles, sauces, and everywhere in between.
If I’m outside of the home and planning on eating I’m strapped with lactose pills

I’m allergic to milk and soy protein. Ain’t no lactase pills are gonna save me.
EtherWhack@lemmy.world 2 years ago
The range of flavors is very limited for both lactose-free and vegan; mainly hovering around chocolate and vanilla.
GeekSquad1992@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 years ago
Planet Oat has some tasty varieties, I’m a big fan of their Blueberry Oat Crunch. Also, Dole Whip is dairy free as well and is getting more popular just about everywhere.
Otherwise lactaid is always good if it helps you at all and you still want ice cream.

Ben and Jerry’s has amazing stuff. They use soy lecithin sadly, so I’m still getting a mild allergic reaction, but definitely better than dairy.
Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Yeah most are awful, but some are ok. Sometimes you just gotta enjoy the good stuff and poop a bit.

i just had 2 of these :D

I get them from Costco
I still buy lactose free milk (costs a comparative fortune) but have been toying with the idea of just cracking a lactose pill (they’re powder with gelatin capsule) and simply adding it to the milk
If a lactose pill is like 25 cents and 4L of lactose free milk is $4 more expensive, I’m thinking it’s time to run some experiments.
For me, ice cream works great with lactose pills, it’s when meals have some cheese that my coverage gets spotty, probably has to do with the ice cream being the only thing I’m eating while meals have lots of non lactose stuff that can prevent lactose pills from hitting all that dairy

As I’m getting older, I have noticed that I can’t eat as much trash food as I used to without consequences. Lactose intolerance was annoying enough, but now It seems that I also have IBS.
Getting older is sad…
Mercival@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Lol, I’ve had IBS since I was a kid.

Genetic modification can fix this

Why not simply use lactase tablets?
illusoryMechanist@lemmy.world 2 years ago
The lactaid pills needed in his case were excessive. This managed to temporarily cure it, and permanently reduce the number/frequency of pills needed long-term.

Crazy stuff!

People who have never heard of milk free ice cream are a bliss. So much to learn about the world. Must be wonderful to experience all those incredible things every day.

I can drink a bag of milk and eat a bar of cheese and have no problem
Agareth@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Very based. Amazing.
Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 2 years ago
What about a bar of milk and a bag of cheese?
n3m37h@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Well they are both wrapped in plastic
Deus@charcha.cc 2 years ago
Been a long time since I had one - milk or ice cream. My lactose intolerance is super bad up. Most Indians I know (e.g. my parents) still maintain that we can digest milk in its raw form when we can’t, genetically. Oh well!
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 2 years ago
You know there are literally pills without side effects you can take against lactose intolerance?
Pandemanium@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Doesn’t work for everyone, unfortunately. Lactose might not be the only thing in dairy that people have a reaction to.
Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Yeah I was tested and am pretty borderline with lactose, but something else in milk messes me the hell up. Not going to skip out on ice cream though. That kinda just becomes a little problem for me and a bigger problem for those around me.

if you read the other comments, yes i do and yes i take them

Can you make one for crippling depression? I can only tangently relate.
HardlightCereal@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Lactose intolerance is just nature punishing carnists for drinking slave milk
cokane_88@lemmy.world 2 years ago
If you have dairy what happens to you? I’ll be shitting within 30 mins, get all sweaty, it’s horrible.
TesterJ@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Lactaid brand ice creams tastes great, if anyone is curious.
becool@kbin.social 2 years ago
This is my wife. She thought she had IBS yet entire life. Nope, just dairy. Plugs her up for days.
Hemi03@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 years ago
Vegan icecream has come so fare.

I just got some strawberry Oatley ice cream today. It's so damn good!
