Lactose is my enemy

I have had to cut dairy out of my diet because the lactose upsets my stomach. I can't even eat yogurt anymore which was a good source of protein. Anyone else have some good protein substitutes for dairy?

    I am lactose intolerant. Even with lactaid tablets, my stomach is not happy.

    So I often eat the following: tofu, quinoa, beans (I prefer navy or pinto), pistachio nuts (though really any nuts are a good source) and seeds (I love sesame and put it on a ton of things). I also like pumpkin seeds.

    Sometimes I drink unsweetened almond milk...but I hear conflcting things about the "healthfulness" of this.

    I've been lactose intolerant for 10 years. I know that some walmarts carry lactose free yogurt. It's yoplait who makes it. to my knowledge there is vanilla, peach, strawberry, and one more flavor i think.

    I could do nuts for breakast - it was my tough meal w/o milk and yogurt and I don't want eggs every day. I didn't know there was lactose free yogurt. Thanks!
