I found my original article on LactAid.
Regarding lactose free (milk or milk products) ices and
ice creams, you might try adding "LactAid". This is a
commercial product with the main active ingredient of
lactase. Lactase is an enzyme which will digest lactose
when added to milk or milk containing products. It is
available from LactAid Inc., 600 Fire Rd., P.O. Box 111,
Pleasantville, N. J. 08232. It may also be available at some
pharmacies.
Added to milk, four to ten drops of LactAid will result
in lactose breakdown. This also has the added effect of
making the milk taste somewhat sweeter. The milk can then
be used in recipies as usual. This is indicated primarily
for people with lactase insufficiency. It is not to be used
by galactosemics, who may not have milk in ANY form. There
is also a toll free number 800-257-8650.

I sent this by "mail" to the person who requested the info., but
it came back undelivered. Thus, I am posting it to the net as others
may also be interested.
