Apparently I have been having a love affair with all things dairy, but mostly with all things cheese. A well meaning completely out of his mind chiropractor/ naturopath has decided the key to unlocking a decade of migraines. Just cut out the dairy. I might have a “sensitivity” to it.
A sensitivity to it? Is he out of his freakin mind? I have a long term relationship with it! I love, adore and sometimes swoon over cheese.
Even if I am willing to give up what can only be described as my Cheese’gasms, how on earth will I say goodbye to cookies chased by a cold glass of skim milk, chocolate ice cream, milkshakes, yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, CHOCOLATE! I could, and if I’m telling the truth, did, cry about this insane idea!
Sigh. Pout. Have you ever heard of such a thing?
But then I thought about it, and it makes a mean kind of sense. So, I’m sorry my dearest dairy. You have been my secret lover, well forever, but for now I shall coldly turn my back on you. If this stupid idea is the key to a life without headaches, then I will never see you again. I will be mostly thrilled to be headache free, and go on with my life with just a small side of sad. And if it doesn’t work? This cruel experiment had better at least see me losing a couple of cheese pounds or I will be one very bitter, bitchy bunny.
Wish me and everyone within a 100 yard radius of me luck. I’m gonna need it.

No dairy? Oh, girl- that would be hard.

That would be an awfully hard decision to make! Wow!

@ChitownGirl I will let you know if this experiment works! So far all I have is withdrawl 🙁
Debby@Just Breathe says
No way, I could never give that up!
I pray that is the answer or maybe I pray it’s not the answer so you can go back to enjoying cheese! What I pray is for your migraines to end. ((HUGS))

Oh I can’t even imagine! A friend of mine follows a dairy free diet for the same reason. He still does sometimes though. Hopefully at least they will lessen for you.
