Dairy Free Oh My!

I did it! I have made it a week and a half on this dairy free diet I am trying. This has been very hard mostly because I love me some cheese! Oh sweet cheese. And that cheese. That ooey gooey cheese that melts and browns perfectly over pizza. Oh how I miss you but for now we have to part because you are causing me great harm.

This journey is challenging because LOT of things contain some sort of milk product, however there are many great alternatives. Then some things just need to be given up anyway. The trade off is great so far. I am finally healing. My immune system has been so weakened now is the time to rebuild. I am taking a natural approach to this through supplements and diet. So far so good. One other thing I notice is that I have more energy.


Another food I have had to say goodbye to might surprise you. I seriously had to go through some mourning for this one. I really love tomatoes. Always have. However, I am noticing after I eat too much of this my joints ache very badly. Again it is not worth the trade off. I want better health and to feel better. It is amazing to me to find out all the things different foods do to our bodies if we just paid attention to them.


Lastly, the thing I cut way down on but not all the way because it seems impossible now. Refined sugars are in most everything process but greatly suppress the immune system as well.

This journey is tough but I look forward to journaling to progress. Please share if you have gone through or are going through a similar thing.
