I’m extremely allergic to milk so I have to avoid it at all times, and in the United States, there is milk in so much things and in random places that shouldn’t be there like in bread. What does milk even contribute to it? Asides that, milk is in cheese, and cheese is in many places, as well as the many milk products like whey and buttermilk, limiting me heavily in what I can eat. Besides that, whatever alternatives there are to replace foods with milk is way more expensive than its milk counterpart, making me spend way more money because of my damn allergies. Like, why???? Besides, I’m literally the only one in my family with these allergies, so talk about shitty genetics. To add to that, not many parties and restaurants couldn’t give a single fuck about my allergies, putting me at way more risk, as most restaurant menus don’t have indicators for if it has dairy or not, like I could die if I literally eat those, incompetency. And besides, consuming dairy is literally culture over there, leaving me alone. I wish I could live in denial about it.
I’m also allergic to peanuts but, peanuts aren’t used in much, so I’m alright about that, but dairy allergies really suck.
I’m also considering maybe becoming vegan, it probably wouldn’t be that hard to adjust to it.
simpleveganblog.com has some good recipes. ;)
You might need to cook your own food more often, having an instant pot makes cooking often easier. I find that home-made oat milk is a good alternative to milk, but it can boil over so I usually add it when it’s almost done cooking just to warm it up. But it’s very easy to make, the blog I mentioned has an easy oat milk recipe. With a good blender you can skip step #4, or I stopped doing it because it didn’t seem to do much of anything…
