this milk allergy is making me utterly miserable, the meal replacement shakes , while so good for dieting just do not agree with me so I stopped , and then I had bread which had milk in it, the olive spread had milk, so that made me flare up again
I am going to have read labels carefully
in the meantime, to cheer myself up I;m going to make some olive bread, it's delicious and I know it will have no dairy 😸
Right there with you. I miss dairy so much.
If you wanted suggestions
Nuttelex is the gold standard dairy free margarine but for cheap bulk option the Coles ‘regular spread’ is also pretty safe for me. You can also do as Italians do and dip the bread in olive oil.There is plant based protein powder from Nature’s Way but I don’t know if they still sell the unflavoured variety (which I preferred since it doesn’t contain artificial sweeteners) and it doesn’t have any added vitamins or anything. I know they do have flavoured varieties like strawberry or chocolate.
Bulk Nutrients probably has vegan meal shake options but from what I remember my other intolerances precluded them so I don’t have any specific options to recommend
thank you so much 😭
