A: For people who are allergic to dairy, plant-based alternatives are a good option. Some non-dairy milk options are soy milk, oat milk, rice milk, almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, hemp milk and flaxseed milk. Many dairy-free milk products are fortified with calcium, vitamin D or vitamin B12 to make them more similar to dairy milk. Many of these milk alternatives have added sugars to enhance their taste. However, most brands typically offer unsweetened versions as well. You can also find vegan cheeses or plant-based coffee creamers and yogurts as well. Check with your doctor or nutritionist to see which dairy alternatives are the best fit for your dietary needs.
