Have you tried rice milk. I would not put it in coffee which I do not drink anyway, however on breakfast cereal it is quite OK. It tastes like boiled rice. |

Daughter can manage goat's milk, but not cow's milk. She prefers skimmed as it can be rather rich. |

My granddaughter who is now 3 was seriously ill as a baby and her parents were told she had a milk allergy. Soya etc, never worked for her . Turned out she was allergic to dairy. So had to have dairy free milk to drink and anything that needed milk in cooking or baking. She put all her weight back on and is now so healthy. |

I have mentioned before a drink called Oatly which is made from oats, it tastes really nice cold from the fridge to drink but not good for using in beverages, altho would be nice on cereal. |

Hi Chris, I use soya milk all the time. Lovely on cereals and makes lovely porridge. Not so nice in tea, but don't mind it in coffee |

If yiu do try Soya milk, then try both the sweetened & the unsweetened one. Usually the sweetened one is sweetened with Apple juice -which sounds odd- but actually tastes better, although it doesn't taste sweet |
