I think I figured out I was intolerant to diary when I was about 16/17. I remember eating a bowl of cereal one time and then promptly throwing it up! I used to love eating mini chocolate chips from the bag, and at some point those started making me feel sick, and I used to LIVE off of cereal. This was before many alternative milks existed, so I stopped having cereal for a while. I moved to the US from the UK in 2019 and started trying lactose-free milk (we didn't use to have this in England) which seemed to be okay for a little while, but soon started hurting me too. Sooo finally I stopped having almost any dairy (the exception of ice cream sometimes, and cheese… I just can't give us cheese ngl) and now I live mostly a dairy-free life and honestly I kinda like it. I have so much fun finding and trying new products. It's been a many a years now, so welcome to my list of knowledge!
