I was looking forward to eating and drinking dairy products again. I drank a glass of milk on Sunday - no problem. I ate some cheese on Monday, and my stomach hurt afterward. I drank a latte on Tuesday, and my stomach hurt again. Today I am not sure what I want to eat or drink.
What I do know is that it is possible to live without dairy products for days at a time - because I've done it now. Living without dairy - or even most dairy - seemed like too much difficulty and too much deprivation for me until I did it.
There are probably no scientific conclusions I can draw from my experience over the last several days. However, I feel much more open to using dairy alternatives and discovering what the best dietary practices are for me.
My initial objections and fears about this experiment all seem a little silly now. Isn't that how life happens sometimes?
