This site helped me so much! After reading this comments I went to Starbucks here, and Yes! They have soy milk. I loved it!! Thank you!

I react to any dairy (including the casein protein), so this is the safest way for me to enjoy this drink. The Coralville, IA Panera goes so far as to put soy milk out in a canister for customers to use in their regular coffee.

In children's case, I would guess its hereditary, just for the fact that both kids have symptoms and they received symptoms during the ages of 10 to 14 (many children begin to experience symptoms in this age range). You, your husband or some of your other family members still might have lactose intolerance, but just not have symptoms. This would mean they have "lactose malabsorption," which is the inability to break down the dairy sugar in milk. You can have lactose malabsorption and still have no digestive symptoms from the consumption of dairy products. Regarding your kids, its actually important for them to continue to have dairy foods for the nutritional value. I would suggest that they try taking lactase supplements, lactose-free foods or they can try a product called Lactagen. Hope this helps. Andrew Elizabeth,

I am not lactose intolerant, and up until recently neither was my husband (he is showing signs of it, he is 57). Our youngest are 10 and 14. The 14 year old found he could finally have a slice of pizza, but is afraid to try it again. The 10 year old has recently become intolerant too. Although, my oldest, whom carries more native blood than even myself (my mother is from this background, as well my oldest ones father is too), has no problems with milk (odd I think), in comparison to her younger siblings, who their dad (half siblings) is from German/Polish background (as far as we know). It has been a puzzle to us and we wondered if the younger kids issue had more to with something external? Another issue to mention. We have found that working with dried milk and/or cheese products works for our cooking and eating, only fresh seems to be their problems.
