Question about problem with milk?

There are two major components to milk - lactose which is the sugar and casein which is the protein. Most people who are intolerant to dairy are intolerant to lactose, in which case lactose free milk might be ok for you. You could also try goats milk which some people get on with as its easier to imilate than cow's milk, or even buffalo milk which is available from some supermarkets. If you can't get these then another non dairy alternative is oat milk which had the added benefit of being made from oat fibre and water so is completely fat free, helps lower cholesterol as it's packed with beta-glucans and tastes pretty similar to regular milk. The brand I use here in the UK is Oatley and is found in the long life milk section of the supermarket. The bigger stores even stock oat cream, a calcium enriched version and even a chocolate flavour one!
