Whether you’ve been lactose intolerant for years or you’ve just recently become sensitive to dairy, you might be struggling to find tasty substitutes for milk, yogurt, cheese, and other popular dairy products. After all, it’s pretty hard to handle dairy when you’re lactose intolerant, which means you suffer from cramps and gas when you consume dairy. But that doesn’t mean you should give up on calcium in your diet, since dairy isn’t the only source of this nutrient. Let these dairy-free, calcium-rich recipes guide you on your way to staying healthy in spite of being lactose intolerant.
