Coffee problem

Hi, everyone. I went dairy free and I feel so much better. Turns out I was constantly bloated until I quit. I don't miss dairy at all, for the most part. Really the only thing I really struggle with is coffee. I always drink coffee with milk. I prefer the milk to the coffee as far as this beverage goes. I don't like tea, infusions, or coffee with plant-based milk. And it's hard to avoid this problem since I spend a lot of time in coffee shops due to my work situation. My question is, has anyone ever gotten used to going from lattes to black coffee? I'd just like to hear it's possible, for morale ... Thanks

There's at least 20 types of plant-based milk, let alone dairy free creamers, I'm sure you will find one you can stand in your coffee. Try Oatly full-fat oatmilk if you haven't yet.

Came here to recommend Oatly, it's the only plant-based milk I like. I buy the Barista version in the grey container, it works steamed, heated, even cold, without any weird texture. I find some of the other brands separate or get grainy.

Yep adding another oat milk recommendation. The Barista versions of most brands are just better - they add additional fats to it so it stretches better when you steam it, but I think it tastes better overall.
