Do you know what’s great? Food.
I’m not really picky about it. Candy is my biggest weakness, followed swiftly by baking. Then comes the other usual suspects; pizza, anything you could serve for brunch, and all forms of caffeine.
So when I have to choose between food and my vanity, believe me, I’m torn. Because I’ve just found out that dairy is triggering the eczema that’s plagued me since I was a teenager.
Do you know what dairy is in? Everything delicious.
And do you know how difficult it is to switch from lattes to long blacks when you’re trying to finish a book? (Great success there by the way, but more on that later.)
The worst part is that dropping dairy has worked. So now I have to stick with it. Although I’ve gotta say, my skin in general is glowing. So if vanity wins, at least it wins big time.
Have you given anything up lately? Also, does anyone have good recommendations for dairy-free treats?

Dairy is so hard to give up! I have a casein intolerance, and before I found enzymes that help me digest it, I had to quit cold turkey. It. Was. Awful. It gets easier, though. Promise.

I’ve gotta say, I’m currently thanking the stars for soy ice cream. That’s interesting about the enzymes helping – I should look into this properly and see if there are any work arounds for me. Maybe cheese could be welcomed back into my life!

Soy ice cream is so good. I was actually kind of surprised the first time I tried it. Best of luck to you!

I was trying to think of dairy free treats and I could not come up with anything. Kudos to you for succeeding on a dairy free diet.

Well it’s only been a couple of weeks – not sure how long I’ll last! Custard used to be my favourite thing. I gotta say though, vanilla soy milk is tiding me over for now.
