I think someone would just have to shoot me if I couldn't have dairy. I could do without meat. I just live for dairy foods. It might be an interesting experiment, though. When you first discovered this, how long did you have to give dairy up for to notice and improvement?

I lived on dairy! Pizza, korma, cottage cheese, yoghurt, Philadelphia cheese spread, cereal, Bailey's Irish Cream, - and chocolate! How could I forget Cadbury's Dairy milk? :-(

I noticed an improvement after a month clear of dairy - and more improvement a month after that, and it has continued. I keep thinking I've plateaued, but when I look back on my condition of a year ago I can still see improvements. I've been doing this since August 2000, and this is my first proper experiment into how much I can tolerate.

I could do without dairy a lot easier if it didn't inveigle its way into so many off-the-shelf foods. Checking labels is a bind, as is asking for sandwiches to be made without butter and vegetables to be served without butter and finding someone in a restaurant who knows what they're talking about when they tell you what's in something.

I've been a vegetarian for years. I live on two things - dairy and all manner of baked goods. Gluten and dairy are the most common food intolerances and I live in The Fear of developing one or the other of those, as I have enough health problems that stop me from having quite enough fun already, thanks.

I was a vegetarian for years, but managed to stop before discovering the dairy problems. Over the last month though, I have stopped thinking of meat as food. I ordered the only non-dairy option at a restaurant t'other day - chicken - but when it came all I could do was poke at it, listlessly. I'm mostly okay with things-which-have-touched-meat, and some a little fish.

Bah. I need to keep my eggs :-(
