ME 2! REMEMBER THE OTHER DAY I TOLD YOU!:) Its not that bad once you get used to it.. Go see you doctor to make sure and then you can buy lacteeze. I have the chewable lacteeze so it makes it alot easier. OH AND YOU CAN STILL HAVE ICE CREAM! with no lactose in it:o

YAY!!! IM NOT THE ONLY ONE!:D If you have questions about it you can ask me on msn or PM me!:eek: :)

I don't really like milk either... Only chocolate, and it has to taste just right, and be the right temp. So, no, I don't drink it much.

Those of you who can't - or don't - drink milk, make sure you get enough calcium in your diet some other way, ask your doctor if necessary. My Aunt never liked to drink milk from childhood on, so didn't when she could get away with it ... she now has very bad osteoprosis, which coupled with arthritis makes life pretty difficult for her - and she's not ancient. She told me she now wishes her mother was more strict about enforcing good nutrition, she didn't know how much it would literally hurt when she got older.

A friend of mine found out she was lactose intolerant in her 20's - she said "I figured everyone got a stomach ache after eating ice cream, but ice cream is so good that no one complained." She now eats yummy tofu ice cream - says don't knock it 'til you've tried it!

Doesn't OJ have Calcium in it?

I think I remember reading on one of the OJ boxes that it did... if so i just got done with my second 'box' of OJ this weekend.

Some OJ has calcium added to it, but it's still not enough calcuim especially if you are young and still growing.

Broccoli and spinach have great amounts of calcium.

Orange juice doesn't have NEARLY enough calcium for the human body. I LOVE milk.........I mean, I just LOVE it! Can't go without drinking it everyday. :p If you can't drink milk, I would recommend taking calcium supplements. If you get the chewable kinds...............they taste like candy, and you'll get your calcium. :p I take those once in a while.........not everyday, but I do sometimes.

Maybe you can try soymilk, or rice milk. I think they have as much calcium as milk, and if you get strawberry soymilk, it is SO yummy. :p

Calcium is very important for the bones and teeth, and even more important for females, so be sure you don't miss out on that.
