My mum doesn't tolerate cows milk these days.I make her porridge in the morning and had been just using water but feel something that has the texture of milk would helped it glide along her gut better.Does anyone know any good alternates that are not too pricey that will do the trick and hopefully not constipate and are easily digested?
Alternative to milk?Lactose free

i used soya milk when my daughter was intolerant to cows milk. its widely available in shops now. coconut milk is another that is for lactose intolerant
I use soya milk all the time, usually Asda's own that is pretty reasonably priced. I've also used various other milks. Oat milk might work well in porridge and I like almond milk on cereal too. Check the allergy list on the box first though.
thats not fair. if you need alternative milk product then try them. i ve tried almond milk in tea and didnt like it but that was the first time.
Arla sell a >>>range of lactose free dairy products<<<
Supermarkets sell parts of the range although choice has been reduced since covid.

My daughter is lactose intolerant and buys lactose free cows milk which is available in all supermarkets. Own brand but arla otherwise.
There was a period last year when there was a supply issue and she tried various of the alternatives (almond oat soya etc) to find one she liked for her cereal. I think these are personal taste. Most supermarkets have a free from chiller cabinet.
She also takes lactase enzyme tablets when eating a meal with dairy in e.g. pizza. She buys boots ones as these were highly recommended on forums.
She was officially diagnosed via GP. She has severe upset stomach with severe cramps when she forgets to take tablets.
However she can only tolerate so much dairy even with tablets.
She is on her early 20s so opting for cows milk means she gets a good calcium intake. Not so important in an older person.

Lidl do a lactose free milk which is a fraction of the price of the other major supermarkets. I use that in coffee but soya milk for porridge and tea. I too like the Asda soya milk but Lidl and Tesco are also okay.
My boss buys Oat Milk for her health, but I can't say it appealed to me when she made me coffee with it.
