If drinking milk gives you gas and diarrhea I'd say you're lactose
intolerant.

Yep. I guess I am. I just didn't know about lactose intolerance for a
long time. I just had this association with drinking milk and the
discomfort it always caused me and developed an aversion to it. I don't
dislike the taste of milk. I just can't think of it as something to drink.

I understand what you're saying. Yet there's a proliferation of things
such as almond milk and soy milk. Wasn't it you who recently said you
discovered and like oat milk for your cereal?

I know they aren't dairy products but apparently they are geared towards
people who either have lactose issues OR people who think non-milk
substitutes are somehow more healthy.

I have a friend who switched to almond milk from lowfat milk. He isn't
lactose intolerant and says he doesn't have cholesterol problems. He
seems to think fake milk is better for him. I guess he's never read the
ingredients. He also told me he uses margarine rather than butter. He
seems to think it's better for him because the label says it contains a
little olive oil. Heh.

Yes. I discovered oat milk a couple months ago when my wife bought some
when she was grocery shopping.

There are probably both types who buy them. My friend recently started a
diet that involved cutting our dairy and he dropped 15 pounds quickly.
For me, the switch to almond milk was to avoid the intestinal problems
caused by lactose. The switch to oat milk was because it is so much
better on cereal, which had been my main use for milk. My wife, you
loves dairy, likes it for lattes.

My understanding is that low fat milk is higher in lactose. It would
make sense to eliminate that if he had a lactose problem. If he is
really health conscious he should know that any form of oil or fat is
high in calories. If their body has a problem with fats there is only a
marginal difference.

It's hard but generally rewarding to bite one's lip and just make a
mental note
