We deal with lactose intolerance in our family, too. My husband is "Mediterranean", where many are lactose intolerant, and he is no exception. One of our daughters can measure her immune strength by drinking milk. And a grand-daughter (niece to the aforementioned daughter) is also lactose intolerant. All of the above, however, can eat at will, yogurt. It is "partially pre-digested" and easily tolerated, as is the cream cheese made from it (which goes by variations of Labneh or lebanie) (and btw, if anyone wants to know how to make the above cheese, please contact me privately)
The above grand-child, by the way, was extremely colicky, even though breast-fed. Her mother was told about a simple change in diet. No meat or dairy products in the mother's diet as long as the child nursed. It worked. Personally, I'm wondering if the same diet while the mother is pregnant would also help the fetus. It would take dedication - makes for a very boring diet. (And you vegans out there, don't jump down my throat!) Just my 2 cents worth.
