Lactose

It's everywhere!!!

I went to the doctor yesterday. I decided after I was super sick in February and had to get an IV that I needed to start taking better care of myself. So I went in for a physical. I think it was my first ever. Although a little bit of me was hoping that the doctor would find something the matter (so I couldn't do the ride Sunday), I got a clean bill of health. However, I mentioned that sometimes I feel a little yucky and bloated, and she said maybe I am lactose intolerant and suggested that I try to give up dairy for a week to see how I feel.

At first, I thought maybe I have finally figured it out, and so I bought a soy latte yesterday. I've always been a bit suspicious of my lattes, but I've always thought it was the coffee. I thought I can do this. But today I picked the M&Ms out of my trail mix (and THREW THEM AWAY) because they have lactose in them. Sad day :( Now I don't know if I'm ready to give up grilled cheeses, lasagna, pizza, ice cream, milk chocolate, etc. Either way this next week will be tough!!!
