2. Practice Becoming Dairy ‘Tolerant’
If dairy is the cause of your ‘windfall’ every day but you just can’t handle the thought of omitting your cheese and yogurt, or switching to almond and soy milk, you could try becoming lactose tolerant. There is some scientific evidence to suggest that it is actually possible, by building up small amounts of dairy in your diet and spacing out the frequency of when you enjoy your milky treats.
Spread out your consumption of milk by having only half a glass at a time, until you can handle one glass. You could start with one serving a day, then perhaps with breakfast and dinner, but not throughout the day. The best time to start would be incorporating your small glass of milk or yogurt with dinner. This is because food slows down the digestion of lactose, and therefore the impact of the symptoms. Practice this regimen until your symptoms are very mild before adding other dairy products such as cheese and yogurt in small amounts.
