Is it ok to use Lactaid Milkd

[sophie]

I'm not sure if i'm lactaid intolerant or not, but don't want to go through a painful day. Is Lactaid milk ok to use for C-Diff or possible post-IBS??
Thanks!

I tried lactose free milk and didn't sit well with me so i had to stick to veg milk : almond or rice milk . I'm not lactose intolerant as i can eat cheese , sour cream ,butter with no problem but for some reason milk , yogurt and kefir will give me discomfort.

Silk vanilla almond milk is my favorite. I would try that.

Post C diff I developed intolerance to dairy protein. Lactaid just removes the dairy sugar. If you can tolerate yogurt, cheese, and cow milk kefir, lactaid might be fine for you. It's all trail and error with diet post C diff.

For those using almond milk, check the labels. It has very little protein. Try hemp milk, oat milk, or the new pea protein milks to make sure you get enough protein if you don't like soy milk.

You will not know unless you try it, that also goes for anything else as well.
No two people are the same and you have to judge what's ok for yourself.

Yes, it is fine. I use it all the time, used it before, during and after c diff and still do.
I am and have been lactose intolerant for over 20 years so it works well for me.
You have to try it and see if it will work for you but it certainly won't do any harm.
