Dairy Free Rachie
I have noticed for many years that I often sneeze after I eat.
I also noticed that I seemed to get a sore stomach and visit the toilet often.
It took me until this year to start trying to figure out what was causing these things so I started a food diary, keeping track of what I ate and how it made me feel. I soon noticed that everything was pointing towards Dairy/Milk.
After trying a few alternatives to milk and feeling better for it, I went to visit my doctor and she confirmed that I have an intolerance to dairy and I've been trying to cut it out of my diet and try alternatives.
I still occasionally have something I shouldn't like donuts/doughnuts - but I soon regret it, although sometimes the after effect is minor.

There are advantages, my real weakness when it comes to food is chocolate, specifically milk chocolate.
I would often go through a bar or a big treat bag in one sitting, sometimes more than once a day - I've almost cut it out completely and have come across a few dairy free alternatives - my mum even bought me a dairy free chocolate advent calendar - for context, I'm 26 so she went above and beyond in terms of kindness!

As well as eating less crap, I'm sleeping better too. I used to take hours to manage to settle at night - possibly because I would have some cereal or a milky drink before bed, sometimes noise will keep me awake but I'm doing much better and getting some shut eye!
In the day time I feel much more awake and full of energy, whereas in the past I've wanted to seek out the nearest table or surface to rest my head on.
I might do some reviews or share some recipes of dairy free things I come across on my blog. I've been trying some different brands of soya and almond based cheese so I might do something with that.
Hopefully it'll help someone else who feels crappy after they eat or looking for some alternatives.
Feel free to share any brands/recipes/thoughts in the comments, if you have any food intolerance/allergies/preferences, maybe we could all help each other out.
