I think what's motivating me is breathing - REALLY breathing for the

first time...oxygen can be very addictive;) The cheese thing is hard,

but not impossible for me. I prefer feeling better. I'm trying to come

up with modifications rather than substitutes because so far all of

those have been really nasty. I do love a good veggie pizza sans

cheese:) Baked potatoes are wonderful with veggie chili & onions, etc.

I love tofutti & sorbet, and almond milks:) What's hard for me is

prepacked stuff - so little of it is dairy free - that, and cookies -

those are hard to stay away from as well, but I am finding a few on the

market that are quite wonderful and vegan friendly:)

hi debra,

 

dairy affects me in similar ways....sinus problems

(including sinus infections and headaches),

congestion, and perpetual post nasal drip. i went

completely diary free for 6 months one time and all

the problems disappeared completely. unfortunately, i

went back to diary (i couldn't live without cheese)and

many of my problems returned. i wish i had the

willpower to give up diary again.
