Lactose intolerance and Lactaid milk vs. half & half or heavy cream
Can somebody help me with this? I seem to have developed a lactose intolerance since my surgery. I have been using Lactaid milk, but half & half has almost no carbs. Does anybody know about the lactose content of half & half? Also, I think I saw somebody recommend heavy cream for lactose intolerance.
So what would be the best choice out of the three of these?
Thanks in advance!

I was so lactose intolerant at first that I only had soy milk and almond milk. Now I take Digestive Advantage Lactose Intolerance, 1 every morning and I am able to have milk products. I think that the 1/2 & 1/2 and heavy cream will depend on how bad YOUR lactose intolerance is. From what I have seen on the boards it is variable from person to person.
There are a few others on the board that have tried the Digestive Advantage and have gotten great results.

I second the suggestions to try Digestive Advantage for Lactose Intolerance!!
Darlene recommended it - and it's made a world of difference in my life!
Hope you find what works for you. :-)

I pick mine up at WalMart - for about the same price....... in case you run out some time - you might check your local WM out. :-)

It depends on what I'm doing with it. I use whipping cream in my coffee at home, half-and-half when we're out. If I were going to eat oatmeal in a restaurant...I'd use their half-and half. But at home, on the rare occasions that I eat any kind of cereal--and maybe if I were making a cream soup--I'd do Lactaid milk.
I third the vote for Digestive Advantage! I used Lactaid for a couple of years, I wish I would have known about the DA earlier! I get it at either Wal-Mart or Walgreens.
However, to go back to your other question, before I started taking the DA, if I had heavy cream or half-and-half, it didn't do me as badly as regular milk, but still caused some issues.
Good luck!
