Currently, I'm intolerant to cows' milk and have a feeling that I'm also intolerant to soya milk.
Can someone please suggest an alternative that's not too expensive and doesn't taste too awful?
Thanks.

I feel your pain, i'm very intolerant to all forms of lactose, and am slightly intolerant to soya. But i've never eaten or drunk it so i don't really feel like i'm missing out
There are loads of brands of it these days, but my preference is one called Rice Dream which you buy along with the UHT milk in the aisles of supermarkets with the milk that doesn't need to be chilled (though it does need to be chilled once opened). You get it in sweetened and unsweetened varieties and they also do vanilla (nice) and chocolate (not so nice).
I buy the unsweetened as it's to our taste, but obviously that's down to you. It's lovely just to drink, mixes really well into tea and coffee, good on cereal, you can cook with it etc. I'd never go back to buying cow's milk now - I only ever buy rice milk, and occasionally soya or goat's milk these days and that's all I want to give my children too. I probably did the typical "new parent hypochondriac" thing but I did read an awful lot of research suggesting that cow's milk is simply not good for humans -- especially not in the quantities we drink it. There can't be that many evil people with agendas against the dairy industry and even if there are I'm happy with my current milk consumption
or
Goat's milk still has lactose in it, i think she's looking for lactose free alternatives
Yes I am.
Are you sure you're not a kitten
Ive got some of that and its fine. Its like normal milk but slightly less sweet. Fine in coffee though as i dont like rice milk or soyal milk in coffee
I thought you couldn't use soya milk in Coffee because it turns to curds or something?
I've had lactose free before so will try to go back on it again.
It's just bogstandard whole cow's milk with the lactose removed. I love it!
Don't love the price though.
I used to buy it for my ferrets (they're lactose intolerant, like cats), stole a bit to put on my cereal and found that for the first time in forever, milk + cereal didn't = half an hour on the loo :thumb:

Tried to have goats milk once but it smells so bad couldn't bring myself to drink it..
I do quite like Goats milk but I got told it was too expensive or something so mum refused to buy it for me. (this was 4 years ago)
You can get it in all the super markets - can't stand the way it smells though - but if you grew up on a farm then maybe some people can't smell it as much.
