Not a soy milk fan

[redbird]

I'm trying doing without dairy for a few days. Mostly this means eating cold meat or fish for breakfast, instead of yogurt, and having tea with sugar instead of milk and sugar (and a little cool water to avoid burning my mouth). But I bought some soy milk, and just tried making hot chocolate with it.

I poured it down the sink after about three sips. Ah, well. There's plenty of other chocolate in the house.

it helps a lot to skip milk completely for a while, and only then look for a substitute. I can barely remember what milk tastes like (lactose intolerant) so I think in terms of which soy milk I like rather than which tastes most like milk.

The current plan is to avoid it completely for a few more days, then either a slow reintroduction to see what dairy I can deal with, or a day or two of my previous normal consumption to confirm that it made a difference (cattitude's suggestion, and I think unnecessary).

The reintroduction will be either a slow choice of products (e.g., maybe try a day or two of yogurt and no other dairy); a test of a small amount (say, milk in tea); sheep's and goat's milk (mostly yogurt and cheese, then); or Lactaid.

My current inclination is to go out and buy Lactaid tablets, and try slow reintroduction with the Lactaid to hand.

If none of that works, I'll go back to where I am now.
