I have to say that I use lactose-free milk myself, but Sam seems to have different issues with milk to me.

I tried rice milk once - never again! I found the smell to be completely off-putting so not really keen on that idea for Sam.

The funny thing is that Sam LOVES custard. He would eat custard all day long if we let him - it seems that the cooking process is enough to fix it for him. I'm told that if that's the case then cheese and yoghurt will be fine - day care keeps telling me he eats cheese, but he never will at home and yoghurt just meets with utter rejection. When on antibiotics we would mix them (in powder form - that's another drama in itself) with custard to make sure we could get them into him - with absolutely no evidence of issues at all.

DH had to have goats milk as a child, but tolerates regular milk now - there's certainly some kind of family history here!
