I think I have built up a lactose intolerance or allergy and am thinking about switching to soya but.... no local shop stocks either the right protein or yogurt for a starter.

What online stores are good options?
 
I thought yogurt was one of those things you can, even should, eat when you are lactose intolerant?
 
I basically want to cut out all dairy for a few months and see what happens..... but I still need a healthy calcium intake.

EDIT: and as I said it might be an allergy too, dairy allergy and intolerance are easily confused.

Why not buy lactose free yogurt?

Any case look for kulture yogurt at spar that should be ok to make something.

Living in a small town my options are severely limited....

I have been using spar plain full cream yogurt as starters.

They do stock lactose free milk but no lactose free yogurt.

I can try to get them to special order something but that gets expensive real fast.

I have never seen the Kulture brand.
 
Another option is decent goats milk, but you would want to try a few as most people just mass produce without taking proper care of the goats resulting in a real kak taste. In fact, proper goats milk done right is quite good.

Soya might not be good for your pee pee( I'm assuming you are male). There are other lactose free sources of calcium like, nuts, figs, leafy greens,etc.

The odd thing about that.... no one can seem to agree on anything. I looked around, it's all just voices trying to shout each other down.

The one interesting thing I noted though is the people defending it always subtly add "non-gmo" which strongly indicates that gmo soya specifically is unhealthy but no one wants to come out and say it.

Well it's up to you. That's the thing with diets, what works for you may not work for me. Give it a trial run, if your willy stops working then you will know for sure.

Post your findings.

I was on soya for years at one point..... no lasting effects.

TBH though at this point my willy stopping to work would be a blessing.... it gets all exited but has nowhere to go :ROFL:

Calcium supplementation from milk is a complete myth.

Oh and soy milk contains absolutely nothing useful, it's industrial waste and estrogen.
