Rice milk is great for light and fluffy pancakes.
I'm not a big fan of maple syrup. Dry pancakes aren't a big hit, but I might try it with a lot of fruit added or homemade applesauce on top. |

I use the Bisquick mix at home. Follow the instructions, use equivalent egg replacer (since Miss Swede is allergic to eggs) and soy milk (she's also allergic to milk). You do need to use a lot more liquid than the recipe says, and I just keep adding until the batter is moderately runny. For a little more sweetness without using syrup, you can use vanilla soy milk. I also sometimes add chocolate chips so that we can skip using syrup.
I will try it with rice milk next time. ^ The rice milk was a discovery when we were in the process of doing elimination testing for allergies for a family member. Two weeks of no dairy and no soy, so at the time the only other option was rice milk. |

Thanks to the mod who moved this.
Apparently I started the discussion 4 years ago and forgot it. That's pretty funny. One more question? Do you have symptoms outside your digestive system? I have a friend who says she is mildly lactose intolerant. I've watched her eat cheese and yogurt and then break out in a rash on her arms. If I have a rash, it's not anywhere I can see it. |

When I was discussing my gut issues with my 2nd gastroenterologist, he told me I could test myself for lactose interance. For 2 weeks, I avoided dairy 100% - that meant reading every label carefully but I was successful - and felt great. Then, on his instructions, I ate a pint of my favorite ice cream (Ben & Jerry's Phish Phood). Within minutes, I was bloated and passing gas, lots of stinky gas. Shortly therafter, I had gut-emptying diarrhea.
Sorry to be graphic, but it's such a relief not to face that anymore. I don't like the taste of lactaid milk. So I drink the 30 calorie per serving Almond Breeze milk. Trust me, the farts were worse than my Jack Russell terriers! |
Sounds like i'm not too bad then.
I get an upset stomach and feel bloaty when I have a latte or something with a good amount of milk. Oddly enough I have to eat a TON of cheese to feel sick. I can have pizza or say a sandwich with cheese with no issues. Yoghurts are fine as well, although when possible, I've been picking up lactose free version. Even stranger, I can drink normal milk in Europe with no issues whatsoever. It's weird but it's nice to not have to worry. When I'm home here in Canada, I just have soy milk. I still haven't been able to find a lactose free hot chocolate (if anyone knows of one please let me know!) I find that with a bit of planning I can usually find a non-lactose or soy substitute. Worst case, there are lactose pills which generally work well enough. |
I haven't eaten dairy products for 20+ years. Before I stopped eating dairy, I would get a stuffy nose within minutes of eating any kind of dairy product. I was living in Madison, WI (the heart of dairy country) when my body stopped tolerating dairy products.
It was probably the cheeseheads that did it to me. :D |

either way, looking for lactose-free dairy products is akin to looking for tomato-free ketchup. you are better off looking for soy or rice based alternatives. spend some time at whole foods or similar markets that carry lots of organics - they have the best selection and will give you a good road map for your options. |
