Help with finding Lactose-Free Milk (for an Aussie please)

[backinoz]

Hi there

Could someone from 'across the water' please help me?????

Can I get Lactose Free Milk in WDW? Specifically is it available at the Pop Food Court & Buffet Breakfasts? (DD11 doesn't like the taste of Soy Milk - says it tastes like yucky biscuits - i.e. cookies in USA speak)

Also - what are the brand names of Lactose Free Milk in USA? Where will I find it in the supermarket?

And finally, do you have Soy based Ice Cream over there?? What is it called?

Thanks heaps - we're heading to the world in Dec/Jan and DD11 is rather lactose intolerant (skin/epidermal reaction primarily) so we'll be trying to avoid it where-ever possible so that she may have an occasional indulgence.

Hi and to disABILITIES!

If you click on where it says "disABILTIES" at the top of this page it will take you to the Index. One of the top items is the "disABILTIES FAQ" which will gives lots of useful information. Post #3 will have a lot of dietary information which may help.

Or, if you want an easier route, click on the link in my signature.

And I am used to the name Tofutti as the soy-based ice cream.

We have not found lactose free cow's milk for drinking while at WDW (although maybe we just don't know where to look)! Having lactose or dairy free meals made has not been a problem, though. As far as at the grocery store, most larger ones stock lactose free milk in the normal dairy section. There are several brands: Lactaid is well known, and Dean's is a major dairy company that makes a lactose free milk as well. Also, the Safeway and Whole Foods Market near us both have a lactose free store brand milk. Safeway is a major chain, and Whole Foods can be found nationwide, and carries natural/organic and specialty items, including many allergen free products. There are many brands of soy ice cream, and my DD likes the Soy Dream ice cream sandwiches a lot.

Hope that helps!

Mary

Thanks everyone for your help! I've read through everything on the DIS, and received an email back from Brenda at WDW - a LOT of people deserve a bit 'pat on the back' for 1stly accommodating food allergies so well, and 2ndly for making the information so easily obtainable.

WOW! This is soooo easy to deal with at WDW. Some days I struggle to find Lactose-free milk at ANY of the supermarkets here (I keep a stash of the UHT stuff in the pantry), and I was imagining similar scenarios for our holiday. Obviously I was worrying for nothing.

So thanks once again, and to Scott.... I'd appreciate hearing how it all works out for you an your trip. Have Fun
