Over on Reddit there’s a great post from a guy that’s lactose intolerant and wanted to try Keto Chow.
I often get questions about this in relation to the heavy cream and it’s interesting what he found.
The TL;DR version is:
- Don’t replace the heavy cream with MCT oil, 63ml of MCT is WAY too much for your GI tract.
- Try a shake with 50ml of heavy cream in it, you might just be fine (this is what he determined and is what he is currently doing). Heavy cream actually has very little lactose (sugar) in it.
- If you have problems with the cream, try putting lactose enzyme drops into keto chow when you mix it and let it sit overnight. The enzyme should break down the lactose.
Anyhow, it’s a good read. “If you or someone you know is lactose intolerant” you should check it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/3hr032/keto_for_the_lactose_intolerant/
