I've just found out I'm lactose intolerant (after years of symptoms it's great to finally find out what is wrong). It means though that I have to stop buying dairy products - does anyone else have this problem and does it affect your lifestyle?

Hi there,
Sorry to hear you're having this trouble as any dietry change is a pain in the butt! My eldest daughter(17) has lactose intolerance too, but there are yummy lactose-free milk varieties on the shelf, and most are delicious! Check the long-life milk isles, and even the cold sections of Woolworths, Coles, and IGA. We find our local SUPER IGA is cheaper! Also there's a really yummy cream cheese alternative called Tofutti and it's available in most supermarkets and is delicous on crackers. It's even great as a dip, mixed with corn relish! Yum for parties and bbqs. Have fun and try focus on what you CAN have, instead of what you can't, and you'll find there's HEAPS of alternatives out there that are devine! Cheers!
