check out this on Amazon: lactase drops. says you can add a few drops to a gallon of milk and it'll be 'lactose-free' in 24 hours. I've not tried it personally, but the reviews look good. I imagine it's the same as edible lactase, maybe more.. concentrated?
Lactase enzyme gives a lot of flexibility for dairy than relying on commercially produced lactose-free foodstuffs.
This is the enzyme I use and can confirm it works very well. For dosing things like evaporated milk just google the estimated lactose content (literally minutes of work if that) and just compare milk to that item to get your correct dosing. It doesn't harm anything to dose a little heavier if you're not sure as it won't effect the dairy texture.
I'd also check if any local ice cream parlors are able to do a lactose free cake (or just make the lactose free icecream for a cake to be assembled at home) as they generally have more flexibility than the national chains.
>I like to buy lactase drops to add to heavy whipping cream. I've been doing it for a couple of years now and haven't had any issues. Purchased on Amazon use a full dropper for a big bottle; invert it a few times and let it sit in the fridge for a day or 2 before use. I store the enzyme in the freezer and pull it out only when I use it and put it back.
I just couldn’t do it and made the best choice for both of us.
If you want to wean quickly Amazon has a pink stork ‘ no milk’ supplement, it’s the herbs in the tea in pill form. It’s helped me dry up almost completely in a month.
For the lactose intolerance, there is a liquid drop form of the tablets. You just add a few drops and stir/shake it into the food, it’s great for when you can’t find a lactose free option.

You can use lactase drops on regular cream to convert the lactose sugar; before Lactaid pills came in drops were all you could get. I don’t see them at brick and mortar stores any more but you can get them on Amazon.
Its a liquid you add to milk. It’s basically what the companies use to make lactose free milk. I get mine off of Amazon when I travel to countries that don’t have lactose free milk. A few drops in, shake it up and wait a couple hours.
You can try this - lactase drops to put in your favorite milk, then give it at least a day to do its thing 😊
Sorry - not been on Reddit for a few days. So I'm pretty sure it says on the bottle, but I found out by going through the Q & A section of the product description page on Amazon, where I purchased this item. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VSTRY8/.
Absolutely! Lactose free milk, cream, etc. is simply regular versions of the initial product, with an enzyme known as lactase added to it. As a result Lactose Free milk is, functionally, identical to regular milk. Taste wise, it's slightly sweeter, but not enough to have to alter the recipe. As for Lactose Free cream, I tried finding some not too long ago (a coworker wanted to buy some lactose free mint ice cream from me for her roommate) and I was unable to. But you can purchase the enzyme lactase here. A little pricey, but it is very effective.
why would you drink more than two glasses in a sitting? If you drink 2 glasses with each meal and assuming you eat three meals a day, that's 800 calories. If you truly have trouble digesting milk then get lactase drops and add them to your whole milk. Less expensive
You should not have to deprive yourself of cheese if you are lactose intolerant. Lactose is a sugar. Read the label of the cheese and if it is 0 sugar, it is lactose free. The general rule is that aged cheeses are more than likely to be 0 sugar than things like American cheese. And velveeta has more lactose in it than the equivalent amount of milk. Also, butter is fine too. I use it all the time. If you like to cook and want to continue to use things like milk, cream and sour cream, I suggest getting these drops. You add them to the product and in 24 hours it is lactose free. It does make it a little hard to be spontaneous in the kitchen, but it is better than working with alternatives. I do use soy, almond, etc products but not when it comes to serious cooking or baking. They just fall short when compared to the real thing.
May I suggest making yourself a delectable bring-me-a-fork-no-I'm-not-sharing cheesecake with lactose free cream cheese?
If you're ambitious you can make cream cheese yourself with dairy treated with lactase enzyme or just call local super markets and find who carries it. I use that enzyme and it works very well but does need time to work, usually overnight/ 12 hrs for thin liquids or 24 for thick stuff like yogurt. I keep two in the fridge and when I open the second, I order a replacement. Thick stuff needs to be stirred a few times to redistribute the enzyme so it can work on all the lactose, but other than that, it's a life changer. I buy lactose free milk and treat everything else with this stuff.
I may have also bought myself an icecream maker for the exact same reason.
It was one of my most brilliant really good bad ideas. Send a personal trainer stat!
I just get them on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VSTRY8/
have you tried taking lactase?
