I have an ileostomy, still early days, and have a TERRIBLE reaction to cows milk! I had watery output that seriously dehydrated me until I realized I had an intolerance. They the Lactofree milk brand, its better than soy, goats, rice etc. milks.
This is the same reaction i have with cream, yogurt and ice cream. But NOT with cheese. Hope that helped.

I used to get horrible gas and cramps from milk. I have a colostomy for six years and since I stopped, no more cramps and no more bloating. A little half and half in my coffee is not a problem. Good luck.
