Why I Went Dairy-Free
I will never forget the day a skin prick test revealed that I am allergic to cow’s milk. After my doctor delivered the bad news and handed me a list (a long list) of dairy products and ingredients to avoid, I sat on his exam table and cried.
On that list were foods like ice cream, cheese, butter and sour cream plus ingredients like whey, casein, lactoglobulin and nonfat dried milk. What!? I LOVED milk!! How could I live without it? Without cheese, cream cheese, cheesecake (my favorite dessert) or coffee ice cream (my other favorite dessert)!? And why is it in ev-er-y-thing!? Oh, the pity party was ON!
That was almost 30 years ago. At the time, I had been living with a painful, miserable, exhausting sinus infection for 6 months that wouldn’t go away, no matter how many horse-pill-sized antibiotics, nasal sprays and steam showers I threw at it.
After quitting dairy cold turkey, my life significantly improved in 3 ways: 1) My stubborn 6+ month sinus infection finally went away, 2) My recurring sinus infections went away (I had averaged about 3 per year as an adult, and since completely giving up cow’s milk, I have had only 3 in more than 25 years!) and 3) My occasional migraine headaches stopped.
While I won’t get rushed to the hospital if I accidentally get a tiny bit of cow’s milk, I avoid it like the plague! You don’t know how bad you’re feeling until you feel soooo good. I’m NOT giving that up for anything!
“I used your recipe for dinner tonight, and my opinionated 5 year old told me I had just made the best cornbread on the planet. Thank you for such a great dairy-free recipe!”
