Yeah that's pretty much it. Doing SS and GOMAD on lactose free milk. Anyone tried this? I'm going to buy this brand right now as it's stocked locally. If it doesn't intefere with my colitis, that will be a dream come true, and I'll post my results over time. Cheers.

It's just wonderful. But it's damned expensive. Can you not just take the pills, or Digestive Advantage: Lactose Intolerance Therapy? Cheaper.

Bought and drank a litre of the stuff last night - and I'm delighted to say the stuff is magic. No digestive issue with this milk, a world of difference for me. Bought four more litres today. Yes it's more expensive but I'm too stoked to let it bother me. I'll just ditch the beer ;)Haven't heard of the second product you listed, will do a search. my question is coach, as a 5' 10"ectomorph, what would a good goal weight be? Cheers.

I've heard raw (unpasteurised) milk can be drunk by lactose intolerent people. If you can get your hands on the stuff try it and see. So tasty too.

And Harry needs to explain why unpasteurized milk is better for the hundreds of millions of people in Europe and North America who are lactose intolerant.

and a 5'9 guy should be around 225ish?

Some people treat these numbers like your strength standard tables :D (I might be guilty of it)

Supposedly, there are beneficial microbes in raw milk that get killed during the pastuerization process.

I mean, you might get botulism, but you won't be shitting yourself.

Yes, the bacteria count is higher in raw milk, some of them are beneficial, and the stuff probably tastes better. But it's 4x the money where it's even available. But I'm waiting on Harry...

I bought a half-gallon of lactose-free milk yesterday. Tastes fine, but I was a little stunned to see the carton advertise "50% more protein than regular milk". True or marketing BS?

Sorry. I think it's something to do with the pasteurization process destoying the enzymes in milk that help to break down the lactose. I'm not sure though.

A quick google search has yielded some results:

Although the US food and drug administration completely disagrees:

So yeah...

But oh so worth it. You're pretty unlucky though, the farm where I get mine is ?0.75/litre, almost exactly the same as the supermarkets.

There are brands of milk out there that add additional milk protein and milk solids. "Skim Plus" is one of them you might have seen. Typically they do this to try to make skim milk taste less like skim milk and more like whole. I wonder if that's similar to what you got.

I thought you might say this, and the amusing propaganda links are just as illogical. Let me ask you a question: if raw milk contains bacteria that produce lactase, then how does raw milk contain any lactose? What keeps the friendly little bacteria people from producing this helpful lactase and therefore breaking down the lactose? Do they just know to wait until they get into your stomach to start busily helping you stay healthy? Or were they taught to do this by the wonderful, caring people at the Unpasteurized Milk Association? Or a better question might be: why would Momma Cow produce milk with enzymes that break down lactose? Isn't that Baby Cow's job?

Normal milk is around 8g of protein per 8oz, not 4; JGrube.

All the 2% milk I see typically adds dry powdered milk which ups the sugar content. I think they do the same with 1% but not nonfat.

I don't actually care, was just making a friendly suggestion. Although I imagine the FDA is probably right. Anyway Rip I thought you were a big fan of the real white stuff?

u are correct. my bad. but i guess my question about the amount of protein in lactose free milk was answered above. its added.
