lactose intolerant and in denial

SO almost everytime I eat, I get sick. It comes out of me in one way or another. Usually immediately and sometimes it keeps coming out of me. I’ll stop there… but you catch my drift. I casually mention this to my doctor at my physical and it turns out I may be lactose intolerant and possibly gluten intolerant. fun stuff.

Doctor: How long has this been happening ?

Patient : A couple years. I get it. I know. Im lactose intolerant and in denial.

Doctor: How often do you eat dairy?

Patient: I might as well be mainlining ice cream. true story.

So for the next 14 days, I will not be eating any dairy. I am already dying inside. Today marks the end of the first 24 hours – and I have been good !!! SO very, very good.  Want to know what I ate : I had a soy gingerbread latte, oatmeal, rice, chicken, vegatables, a nantucket nectars and I am about to indulge in some popcorn. So far so good.

What would I love to eat ? A giant bowl of queso followed by a gallon of Ben and Jerrys. It’s gonna be a fun ride!

  1. I hope quitting dairy helps! 🙂 I had IBS for 15+ years, so I understand the not fun part. Definitely thought I was lactose intolerant at times. But changed my diet a couple of years ago and amazingly enough, did not have to give up on dairy completely, though I do only have it in small amounts. Maybe one day you will be able to have some Ben and Jerry’s once again!
