Re: Milk-in-coffee intolerance
its a bit late to add this probably but I believe that cheese and yoghurt are much lower in lactose than just plain milk, for those that are wondering why it doesnt have the same effect.

Re: Milk-in-coffee intolerance
My wife is lactose intolerant and usually drinks her coffee black but for the occasions shed prefer a latte we keep long life lactose free milk on hand.
As my son is also lactose intolerant, between the both of them and things like me using it in last nights mashed potato, it never goes to waste.

Re: Milk-in-coffee intolerance
Colin, welcome to CoffeeSnobs and lactose intolerance.
I have been lactose intolerant for about 10 years. While I have accepted drinking macchiatos, at home I dose my milk with lactase drops and take a lactase tablet before eating high lactose foods.
I can eat cheese and yoghurt without any effect and without any added lactase.

Re: Milk-in-coffee intolerance
Fascinating thread. Ive just been diagnosed with a mild lactose intolerance... and it was thanks to the net that I and my Doctor worked out what it was!
I was previously told that I had IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), but i had my doubts. While asurfing the net (as you do!) I came across this on YouTube- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V81uwYDa0Q
That got me thinking and after some experimentation, and consultations with my Doctor, we worked out by a process of elimination what it was.
Ilove coffee, onviously, so this was a bit of a blow... but to date ive just toughed it out and not mixed in milk with my coffee...
Almond milk though...Hmmmmm!

Re: Milk-in-coffee intolerance
Beaniebop,
I make my own almond milk as well but havent thought of trying it in with my coffee. Would you acutually recommend it for taste? I can tolerate cows milk no problem so I wouldnt bother switching to almond unless it was yummier.
BTW if you think its weird to use almond milk Ive heard of people using a milk made of hemp oil in their lattes!
What...?

Re: Milk-in-coffee intolerance
I know its a bit weird but i make my own almond milk and that creates an amazing micro foam and silky texture (i can even pour rosettas with it) - not to be confused with store bought almond milk which tastes like liquid marzipan YUCK..... also zimel lactose free milk works well but a bit sweet :/

Interesting.Originally posted by 0D3A2323263B3B4F0 link=1282184470/33#33 date=1301535546Plain cows milk in its standard form will therefore be one of the most difficult to digest of dairy related products.
I have now just switched to soy in my Caps - and feel much better. If you had a problem similar to mine, try this
Slight soy aftertaste, but well worth not feeling sick after.
Cold milk in cereal doesnt make me ill though... Neither does ice cream or cheese, or yoghurt ;D

Re: Milk-in-coffee intolerance
Folks I believe there is another factor which I dont think has been mentioned yet...
In addition to the lactose issues mentioned previously, properly digesting the protein in milk is not as easy as some other dairy products because of chewing, or lack of it....
I have heard that protein foods require chewing to properly start the digestion process, (which seems reasonable to me), hence dairy products such as cheese, which requires some chewing typically cause less problems compared to milk, which being a liquid, is difficult to chew. It seems common that many of us can tolerate greater or lesser amounts of this liquid protein, but there will typically be some that react more than others.
While yoghurt is not what I would consider a solid food, its digestion is helped by the live cultures that produced it, and it is relatively a lot thicker than milk.
Plain cows milk in its standard form will therefore be one of the most difficult to digest of dairy related products.
Personally I never liked plain cows milk, and while I like the taste of a typical latte, am now usually drinking picolo lattes to reduce my milk intake, but happy to have cheese and yoghurt.

Re: Milk-in-coffee intolerance
Friend of mine is the same, he is allergic to Casein and that is destroyed or reduced in the manufacturing process of some dairy products. Unfortunately for him, chocolate isnt one of themOriginally posted by 103320202B0D16273C31333C520 link=1282184470/21#21 date=1283257978I can handle yoghurt, butter, cheese and small amounts of ice cream and lots of macciatos without any noticeable effects.

What do you mean contradict each other?
Wikipedia is compiled by those like you and me, therefore, not only is the data not 100% comprehensive, but in some cases, not accurate.
Here,s a paste from Wikipedia....
"On Wikipedia, you can contribute and fix errors in most articles right away!"
"Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, written synergistically by the people who use it"
"Dont be afraid to edit – anyone can edit almost every page, and we are encouraged to be bold! Find something that can be improved and make it better—for example, spelling, grammar, rewriting for readability, or removing non-constructive edits. If you wish to add new facts, please try to provide references so they may be verified, or suggest them on the articles discussion page. Changes to controversial topics and Wikipedias main pages should usually be discussed first.
Remember – you cant break Wikipedia; all edits can be reversed, fixed or improved later. Wikipedia is allowed to be imperfect. So go ahead, edit an article and help make Wikipedia the best information source on the Internet!"
I stress that Wikipedia is a good source for information, but there are at times things you read that may not hold true due to the fact everyday people like you and me can contribute to the service.
Gary
