I make Clam Chowder with Lactaid Whole Milk instead of cream for my wife and she reports no problems.
here is a recipe similar to what I make
https://www.lactaid.com/recipes/creamy-clam-chowder
I use a few more spices and more clam juice with less milk
Likewise I use one can of chopped clams and one can of whole clams
