ReplyDeleteI'm lactosintolerent, how can i still get a good source of dairy in a healthy way?
ReplyDeleteI was actually lactose intolerant for 3 years and still can't eat certain things in the dairy category. I will make a post this week about healthy alternatives for ya! Eating a lot dairy is actually not so good for you, but there are ways to substitute. Also, have you heard of Lactaid? They are pills you can take before consuming something that has dairy.
