I laid off the regular (skimmed) milk a while back. I've never been a big milk drinker and I've usually avoided it in my coffee in the morning as it's made me somewhat bloated and uncomfortable.
But instead of just doing an espresso, I tried coconut milk a while ago. I liked it MUCH better, it's light and I don't feel queezy after.
Now I've moved and my local grocery shops don't carry coconut milk. I thought soy milk could work, and now I've had it for two days and I'm crazy bloated. I feel "full" and my stomach, which was just starting to go away after my January diet/low carb started, feels big again.
What kind of milk works best for you if you don't drink dairy? Are there other types I might try?

Same thing was happening to me and went to black coffee cold turkey one day. I feel so much better. If I come across coconut milk I will try it.
Did you try unsweetened almond milk? If you have more calories to play around with they do make a chocolate or vanilla flavored.0 -
Homemade almond milk with vanilla bean and chia0

Whole milk or 2%. I'm not allergic to milk and the alternatives are nowhere near it nutritionally0
-
semi skimmed0
-
Full cream whole milk for me - have you tried or can you get either goats milk or lactose free milk?0

My daughter introduced me to almond milk and at 14 cals per 100ml, I'm like it, I don't know what it would be like in coffee though as I drink fruit teas and have my coffee black . She likes to make her own, but discovered almonds were more expensive over here than they are in California where she lives, so she settled for supermarket one whilst she was here.0

me too!0 -
I don't drink any milk because I don't like the taste and texture of it. My kids like vanilla almond milk (I do a lot of baking for a relative with a dairy allergy so I usually have it in the house).0
-
Still 2% milk for me. I like almond milk in smoothies but I find it gross in everything else. Go figure.0
-
I don't like milk- never really have, for as long as I can remember. Fortunately, I love nonfat Greek yogurt.
I drink my coffee black but if I'm someplace where there's half-and-half I splurge and add that.0 -
unsweetened almond milk in coffee just to make it a bit smoother; otherwise, not so big on milk.0
-
2% or Vitamin D0

I love organic whole milk...I do occasionally drink Silk soy (regular, not the light one) in cereal. I'm not a big milk drinker period, but do go between those. I have eczema and dairy in excess will cause it to flair up, so I have to be careful!0

30 calorie unsweetened almond milk...I like Silk brand the best0
-
I only drink skim. My dad puts 2% in his coffee, so we have that in the house as well, and I generally use that in my cooking and baking unless I'm told otherwise.0

Unsweetened almond milk is awesome.0
-
Skim milk or 1%. I can't stand 2% or whole my body starts to rebel. I LOVE milk though and it was the only time my Mom was ever able to drink milk was when she was pregnant with me. I usually add a splash to my black teas. I would love to try almond milk sometime though. I'm not sure if I like Coconut milk but then I've only tried it out of a coconut in Mexico and not the store stuff so I might like it. I found it to be an odd flavour and I just couldn't make up my mind on the matter.0

unsweetened almond milk
I actually tried this in my coffee yesterday (as I was out of my dairy) and it was pretty tasty! And I always use it for my protein shakes.0 -
I keep 1% in the house but rarely drink it myself. Just don't care for it. I use it primarily in recipes or to mix a protein shake to get the protein up higher than the powder alone can provide. I drink my coffee black0
