Anyone found a really good lactose-free yogurt (preferably Greek for added protein)? I'm really missing it since my lactose intolerance has made me give up all dairy.

Any Greek yogurt has WAY less lactose (up to 85% less) than regular yogurt. The lactose is in the whey, and Greek yogurt is strained.

I use Lactase drops in my milk (the drops let me treat the entire gallon at once), and I take Lactase when eating most all other dairy. When I make my own yogurt, I strain overnight until it's almost like yogurt cheese so I can eat without any problems.

There was a frozen yogurt place in Hawaii that served over 100 different flavors. They had a big sign up that explained that the cultures in yogurt made it OK even for people with lactose intolerance to eat it. I've done so, and never had a problem.
