      At the grocery store I’ll buy almond/oat etc ice cream, but sometimes the ice cream shops only have dairy, or if I’m at friends/family and they only have regular ice cream.

      Lactose is in nearly everything from chips, to baked goods, to some random noodles, sauces, and everywhere in between.

      If I’m outside of the home and planning on eating I’m 100% strapped with lactose pills

        I’m allergic to milk and soy protein. Ain’t no lactase pills are gonna save me.

        I can digest lactose just fine. The issue is, if there’s milk protein, I’m getting gut inflammation for the next week or a month.

      The range of flavors is very limited for both lactose-free and vegan; mainly hovering around chocolate and vanilla.

        Planet Oat has some tasty varieties, I’m a big fan of their Blueberry Oat Crunch. Also, Dole Whip is dairy free as well and is getting more popular just about everywhere.

        Otherwise lactaid is always good if it helps you at all and you still want ice cream.

        Ben and Jerry’s has amazing stuff. They use soy lecithin sadly, so I’m still getting a mild allergic reaction, but definitely better than dairy.
