I frown as shake my head no to ice cream. As much as I love it, it makes me so sick. I've had a stomach issue for a long time. Every morning I would just sit there as my stomach hissed, and gurgled. I felt sick. I would take Advil, but most of the time that wouldn't even work. I wondered if it was from anxiety that I was feeling so ill, or if I had an ulcer, but I didn't know for sure.
A couple of times I had been taken off of milk, but I could never commit to a soybean based lifestyle. I soon had enough, and my parents made sure to monitor that I wasn't drinking milk, or eating lots of dairy. We bought soy milk, lactaid, and other gross 'Milk' that never seemed to get cold enough. I went a couple weeks without it, and noticed that there was a big difference. I had no stomach aches. I decided to now try a bit of cheese, and found that mozzarella doesn't make my stomach hurt as bad, but oh how wonderful to know how to stop my stomach aches. If only I had known a long time ago! I still have to have self control when it comes to ice cream, I can choose ice cream and unhappy stomach, or an alternative and no stomach aches. I usually try to stay away from ice cream and milk products, but I miss my yogurt.
It stinks to be lactose intolerant. Be lucky you aren't. Even though I still sometimes be a rebel and drink some milk and eat some cheese, because hey! Replacement milk just is not the same.
