Milk Alternative Recs?

My son is 14 months.  We finally found goat milk at 8 months. It worked great for him until a bit after a year.  ????  I think he decided he doesn't like it anymore.  Since we still have a milk intolerace, I need recs for alternatives.  We tried rice and he didn't like it.  GI's next is almond (afraid of allergies??), or coconut.  What have you tried, and what worked???  Any side effects? 

Thanks, I'll post on allergy board too.

    M didnt' get off formula until over 16 months, she would not drink whole milk so we get the almond milk but she will only drink one brand, I think it's diamond something.

    I give my kids almond milk (vanilla or chocolate, the original flavor is gross IMO) or flax milk (the original flavor tastes pretty good), my DH prefers the flax milk, I prefer the almond. I don't care much for rice, coconut or soy milk. There is also hemp milk but I've never tried it.

    We used Soy and Coconut, but the nutritionist said Coconut milk is very fatty and Soy would be a better option.

    At 14 months, milk isn't a necessity as long as he is getting enough calories from solids and is getting calcium from food sources (spinach, goat cheese).  

    When I weaned my son at that age, he rejected goat and cows milk.  I tried multiple times.  My pedi was okay with just offering water as long as his caloric needs were being met elsewhere.
