I have a cow's milk allergy, are there sufficient replacement soy products in Thailand?
Dear readers,
I have a question about soy products in Thailand. It started about 2 or 3 months ago. The symptoms and a conversation with my GP told me I'm stuck with a milk allergy. However, the doctor could not tell me whether this is temporary or permanent. Mainly milk, yogurt and cottage cheese are out of the question for me and let these first two be daily “must haves” in Thailand.
Here in Belgium I have since switched to soy products from Alpro and this with favorable effect. I wonder if there are similar or comparable products available in Thailand (Big C, Lotus, 7/11 etc.).
Exactly 2 years ago I had a stomach operation and since then I haven't been to Thailand. I'll be back in a good month, for the 10th time. I know there is a wide variety in Thai cuisine but I have to be damned careful what I eat and drink.
Regards,
Frank (BE).
Soy milk was enough, also almond milk etc. enough!
Good to hear Gerald. Thank you! 🙂
Hello Frank…I have been living in Pattaya for 15 years and you can find plenty of drinks here….drink coffee..drink delicious mint tea…ginger tea..soy drink Lactasoy pure and chocolate flavour.Drink a lot of water here…always healthy and kidney cleansing.Good luck !
Dear Fernand, we live on the outskirts of "big" Bangkok and all major supermarkets are in the immediate vicinity of our house and the 7/11 is barely 100m away. The products you list are certainly interesting. Hopefully the sugar level is acceptable or minimal. Now really let sugar be out of the question for me. Water is indeed healthy, but it's just... water, hence milk and so on, to have a different taste... 😉
i am currently in koh samui and go to the makro market every day, there are also in thailand.
here in lamai beach there is one and in chawing there is also one .
there you can buy goat milk and soy milk, so products are also available here.
I don't know where you are going, but google if there is a macro there as well.
regards
We do indeed have a macro here too. Looking at all the comments so far I will definitely find what I am looking for… 😉
Frank,
I think 80-90% of Asians are allergic to cow's milk products. So yes, there are plenty of replacement products available, mainly from soy, in the supermarkets. But there are also the stalls with soy milk and fried dough snacks that you can dip in it, which are often eaten for breakfast. And, for example, the milky desserts of coconut milk.
I don't like cheese myself, but fortunately this is not found in Thai cuisine.
Lilly
Thank you for your comment Lilly. Unfortunately, due to my stomach operation, I can no longer eat fried dough snacks. That these are tasty, yes, I think that is widely known. 🙂
Yes, plenty of soy milk, but Alpro doesn't match soy milk.
Thai soy milk is either too sweet, or is there also some regular cow's milk or other additives.
Thailand does not know what lactose intolerance is.
The doctors think it can only occur in babies and toddlers
Ai! Too sweet, I'm afraid that's where the shoe will wring Chander... 😉
The large markets such as Lotus also sell imported mature and old cheese, because they have matured for a long time, the lactose (milk sugar) has completely disappeared, so feel free to use!
you also have to be careful with soy, it is less healthy than people think! no more than 2 servings per week according to experts.
the most important thing is variety, I myself follow a combination of various diets including the okinawa diet and chronobiotic nutrition.
fermented soy products such as natto, miso, shoyu and tempeh are better because the harmful estrogens have been converted by the fermentation process.
