I am lactose intolerant, but I eat ice cream and cheese no probs because I use lactase pills pretty religiously.

Saved me from a dairy free existence for a good 7 years. Sadly doesn't work if you actually have a milk allergy.
Facetious or not, I got your back.
Over-the-counter lactase tablets which you can chew just before taking your first bite or swallow of a dairy product are usually of great help to the lactose intolerant.
Oh gosh no! We get the Kirkland brand in bulk. I use them from time-to-time too. I'm not full on lactose intolerant but I get a little gassy sometimes. I know the chewable ones you're talking about, my parents gave those to me when I was a kid, bad memories.
We get these: https://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Fast-Acting-Lactase/dp/B000VS4BF6/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1467058020&sr=8-3&keywords=lactaid+pills
If you have amazon prime these work just as well for me and save me money:
Kirklands Fast Acting Lactase 180 count: $0.11 per pill
Kirklands Fast Acting Lactase 750 count: $0.109 per pill
They don't really go bad so you can stock up. But you also don't really save any more buying more (although if you don't have prime you'll get free shipping on orders $35 over which the 750 count has).
The liquid lactase is dramatically more expensive than the pills. A "dose" of liquid, as far as I've seen, has 750 "lactase units," (whatever they are) while the pills have 9,000 each. The bottle has 75 of these doses, and if you buy the costco pills, you get 180 for about the same price. So the liquid costs more than 20 times as much.

Pills: http://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Fast-Acting-Lactase/dp/B000VS4BF6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383064644&sr=8-1&keywords=lactase
I'd try just crushing up a pill and putting it in the milk. The taste of the binders shouldn't be noticeable in a half gallon or more.
Buy generic (can't really go wrong as the key ingredient is the lactase enzyme), it's pretty cheap: 180 Pills for $21.99 on Amazon ($.12 a pill). You can probably get smaller quantities at a similar price point at your local drugstore. It's worth it to be able to eat ice cream without the dreadful repercussions.

If that's the case, you may as well add Lactase to your wishlist as well.
Get some lactase enzyme pills (lactase is the enzyme to break down the milk sugars that your body no longer produces) and start eating some dairy again. They work great.
