Is anyone lactose intolerant?

edited January 2011 in Pregnant
I'm lactose intolerant and was wondering if soy milk is an ok substitute? I can eat a small amount of cheese, but I cannot drink milk. I drink silk and it says it has the same amount of calcium as milk.

  • I can eat cheese & ice cream, but I can't drink regular milk since i've been pregnant, it upsets my stomach, so I drink Lactaid, have you tried that kind..?

  • I am and recently ate a bunch of clam chowder and ice cream... That was bad and I am so bloated right now. U can buy lactose free milk, that'll be gud. Im drinking lactaid, just like Jody_11.
  • I just became lactose intolerant with this pregnancy, they told me to try lactaid or soy milk so you should be fine either way. However I didn't like either so they gave me a calcium suppliment, which is also gross so I just have milk in cereal and eat cheese here and there, dr doesn't seem concerned at all
  • Ive been drinking soy milk for the past 10 years. I can't stand the taste of actual milk. I forgot to ask my doc about it when I went for my appointment this week. I was just wondering if I would need to take a supplement
  • I don't think so but definately ask your doctor, there is also calcium in other foods you could look up, and they have calcium enriched orange juice
  • Yeah I am.. I hate soy milk so I take calcium supplements
  • Yeah I've been eating calcium enriched bread. And in other food. But I'm glad to hear that some if you have the same problem
