10. You Can Take Control Of Your Intolerance By Making Your Own Meals
The option is not always available, but you might have to learn to cook your own meals almost every day to minimize your symptoms. Going out and buying food that’s already made puts you at risk because you would have no way of knowing what ingredients go into your meal. Furthermore, if you’ve ingested lactose while you’re at work, you may end up having to spend a lot of time in the bathroom. That could land you in a bit of trouble.
Instead, you could learn to brown bag it. Make your meals at home, where you’re aware of everything going into it, and take it to work with you. It’s a lot of extra effort. You’ll have to get up earlier in the morning to get it done. However, at least you’re not running the risk of having to endure intestinal distress throughout the rest of the day. There are plenty of lactose-free recipes out there, too. Please don’t think that your diet is going to shrink to just vegetables and meat immediately. There are alternatives out there to help you make even your favorite desserts that would have contained milk. Now you can make them guilt-free that will keep your tummy happy.
