MemberI have intolerance to all types of milk products, from any animal and no longer eat anything derived from milk including cheese, butter, whey in foods, etc. The introduction to the premise of programme looked so sensible that I would like to try it but, given the circumstances, would TrimDownClub be able to advise my diet, as it does in other circumstances.

MemberThere is a variety of lactose-free foods in the Menu Planner application – the main tool of the program. Just look into anything referred to as a vegan substitute for dairy. You can get calcium and vitamin D from products that are fortified, as well as from nuts and deep green leafy vegetables, and if you eat fish, sardines with the bones still in them.

MemberI am also lactose intolerant but I can eat goat/sheep milk and cheeses. Have you tried these? I am having a hard time in replacing the cottage cheese though….any suggestions anyone?

MemberSorry to have taken so long to reply.
I’m just not quite sure re goats milk products. I probably have some other intolerences that have made it hard to get a completely settled place to experiment from and I’ve recently been seen by the NHS who seem to think that there isn’t enough data to be sure that intolerances even exist!
In terms of milk, I think it’s only cows products that cause me difficulty but am hoping to try to confirm this soon.
I’ve only just planned my 1st weeks meals but did find plenty of options that had no milk at all in them.
Although I haven’t tried the process I understand it is relatively straightforward to make all sorts of cheese from milk at home. The cottage cheese curds, being the 1st stage I understand, should be possible to make although I guess there might be requirements from the milk one needs to use so, farm bought may be necessary. - AuthorPosts
