As someone that eats a moderate amount of dairy despite being lactose intolerant, my intolerance has gotten much worse with age.

    Tried lactase pills? Cheap and effective.

    There are also a ton of great dairy alternatives now too! Except cheese. The final frontier.

    Miyoko brand cashew cheeses are excellent if you're not looking for melted cheese. They have an aged cheddar and a soft herbed "cheese" that are great as a cheese-board type thing. Also there are other companies making fake shredded cheese that is lightyears ahead of the soy-based rubbery garbage of a decade ago. I use a fake shredded cheddar on pizza - and it's much better than being almost but not entirely unlike actual cheese. That said, I miss cheese. Stupid sexy alpha gal allergy.

    I will have to check it out! Ive tried Daiya and a billion others but nothing is quite right (or is just flat out awful). That said, totally agree on soft cheeses / dips / spreads. Nothing beats a proper cheese pizza with mozz tho ;-;

    For cheese you just need to find one that has 0 grams of sugar in it. Lactose is a sugar, so if the cheese has 0g then it's generally safe to eat.

    I'm extremely lactose intolerant (makes my stomach bleed) and I can eat cheese all day if it has zero sugar.

    Not the op but when I use the lactase pills in the US, the fake sweetener gives me more stomach trouble than if I just get eat the ice cream. I have no idea why a pill needs to be sweetened when it does t require chewing.
