To think that lactose free products taste different?

[LactoseTolerant]

Different to their lactose containing dairy products i mean. Dd is lactose intolerant so we have tried lactose free milk, lactose free cheese, lactose free butter and lactose free cream. Dh claims they taste exactly the same. Dd says she isn't keen on them. she used to love the lactose equivalents and misses them, which is why we have been looking at alternatives.

I find the lactose free stuff revolting. I actually gagged while having a dish made with the cream today and I can't get myself to taste the cheese.

Thing is I dont know if I'm making it up. I think maybe im prejudiced beczhse vegan cheese is so disgusting. I can't even out ky finger on why the lactose free stuff disgusts me so much or how it tastes different. Dh claims they taste exactly the same and it's better for dd to have that than the soya or oat dairy alternatives, which are highly processed. I agree but I find them so revolting that I dont want to ask dd to have them.

Has anyone tried them? What do you think?

Yabu: they taste exactly thr same as dairy with lactose

Yanbu: they taste different and are too disgusting to eat.

You're being prejudiced by vegan cheese, which I agree is vile. I also think the lactose free milk smells a bit off, but my whole family happily munch on the lactose free cheese, greek-style yoghurt and butter (I'm the only one with an intolerance).

Tell that to my gut. 😵‍💫

I rely on lactase tablets and go low dairy anyway

Just as an aside - she may not be truly lactose intolerant. Depending on her age ( it’s not recommended for under 5, elderly, pregnant immune compromised people) you could try raw milk / raw products. Or if you don’t fancy that then some locally produced pasteurised milk from a farm vending machine.
It’s sometimes the homogenisation and processing that the milk goes through that makes it difficult to digest. The process changes the fat content and redistributes it which means the globules are much smaller and then pass through the gut too quickly.
We have our own house cow and drink raw milk. A friends son was intolerant from a young age but really wanted a milkshake one day. She let him have a small amount and he was fine.
Next time round he (unbeknownst to us) had a large one.
Turns out he is fine with our milk.
We looked into it and found out the above info.
You don’t think about milk being a processed food but it is.
Also. Probably 7 days old when you buy it.
As a further point (if you care) cow welfare is likely to be much higher in a small farm, selling direct to the public. For a start hygiene practices will need to be tip
top to get the results required for raw sales.
