Hi all. I had no idea I was lactose intolerant until recently and bought tons and tons of cases of Atkins drinks only to find they give me a tummy ache. So any suggestions on how to do a slim fast type diet w/ out milk?

Hi there, My doctor uses Optifast and since I am very lactose intolerant, I can't use it. For awhile, I used Lactaid with it but after awhile, the Lactaid stopped working. Now I am using Unjury which is lactose free. You can find it on Welcome to the UNJURY Homepage. Hope that helps.

Regards,

Alfie

I really don't know what the Slim-Fast diet is, but if you need a milk substitute, soy milk is lactose & cholesterol free. You can find it in plain, vanilla, and chocolate at most stores.

I've been lactose intolerant for years... I even would eat cheese/milk products when I needed to get regular...if you know what I mean.

Now, it doesn't work anymore. Since being banded I am no longer lactose intolerant...weird, huh?

Oh goodness I want that!

if you can find it they do make a Slimfast lactose free, its called easy to digest. Or what I did was mix CIB with lactate milk and add in some sf instant pudding mix to jazz up it up

soy milk is another option

a couple weeks after my surgery I was able to move back to regular fat-free milk. thank goodness

Soy is your friend. Soy milk and soy protein.

There is a wonderful product out that I am using called Muscle Milk light - they are Protein shakes but lactose free and have 20g of protein and 150 calories - they are AWESOME!! You can find them at GNC but they are pretty expensive I found them on Bodybuilding.com

This is what I am using from my pre-op and it's amazing - much better than slimfast....

Matrix 5.0 w/water or Whey Gourmet Choco/PB w/water and not milk. Yummy

Get chewable Lactaid to eat right before you drink or eat something with dairy in it. It helps you digest it.

I drink Lactaid milk. I think it tastes much better than regular milk and never upsets my stomach like regular milk can. So, if you need actual milk for something try looking for Lactaid milk. It's not the cheapest milk around but it's better than what happens when you drink real milk!!!!!!!!!!
