Always check labels. Thanks Monster for making it neon orange on your Ultra Peach flavor

There's no coffee, dairy, cream, or anything mentioned on the can, just Ultra Peach. Also, RIP Oat Milk Java Monster

Dairy free coffee creamer

I am trying dairy free again as it makes me so so bloated and gives me the worst cystic acne. I am desperate for a creamy coffee creamer. I have tried almost all the oat , almond and I am sure most of the coconut and it’s just not creamy enough , and I don’t like the taste of oat. I live in Canada , any recommendations??? Thank you

Your coffee addict ❤️

Anxiety gone - my story

Just wanted to quickly share my story.

My whole life I had episodes of anxiety and depression. When I started building my muscles (around that time), I started experiencing panic attacks which I blamed on alcohol. I work from home but would get short of breath whenever my turn on the call would come. I wondered what happened - I was much more social and way less risk-averse in my 20s and could not understand what happened in my 30s. Anxiety I experienced was of a general type. Whatever was on my mind - job, health, family, finances would trigger obsessions and anxiety.

I knew there was a problem with milk, yoghurt because everytime I had it, I'd end up with diarrhea and unbeliable gas issue.

I tried meditation, lots of different anti-anxiety meditation with no luck. My anxiety was so random that I did not know what to deal with in terms of working out traumas or childhood events (I don't recall any). I lived in a constant fear of something bad happening - accidents, health whatever.

I quit caffeine thinking that it was the cause of my anxiety which actually helped (because I always drank lattes).

2 weeks ago I got stomach issues and got sick. I had no food for 3 days and weirdly started to feel better than when I was eating. I was so calm, positive. I started introducing food slowly - started with some nuts. Next day - avocado and egg. Then chicken rice. I felt amazing. Then one evening walking back home I got an ice cream. I had only a bit and went to work a bit to finish off some stuff. 15 mins later, I got jittery and my mood just went straight down. I could not believe what just happened, then I thought, what did I just have? Icecream diary..... then I remembered that I always get sick after it anyway. And I wondered why when I met my gf, I was the most depressive period in my life... Relationships not for me? No, I was the cup of ice cream every evening while we had for Netflix

2 weeks later, I'm a new person. Anxiety gone, I love small talks with strangers, positive. I can had 3 coffees (plain) and get no anxiety. 180 degrees change. All I can say is... Try it for 3-4 days and see yourself

Check your Probiotics

I finally got diagnosed with IBS today. They will narrow down what kind later. If you've ever read my symptoms and been like yeah, me too, you should get it checked out. I found out today the probiotics I've been taking with lactobacillus are infact dairy derived. I asked before and said "that shouldn't be considered dairy"

I've been burping for a decade since starting probiotics. I swapped to one that doesn't have it at all and I haven't burped outside of soda for weeks.

For those that haven't ever seen me post in here, my symptoms to dairy were:

Anxiety, headaches, pain in abdomen, dizziness, phlegm, congestion, shaking organs, so much gas... So so much gas

OAT NOG UNAVAILABLE ALMOST EVERYWHERE

I'm crying. I've only had one delicious carton this entire holiday season. Why is this happening? Almond nog is too thin. Coconut nog is too coconuty. Soy nog has soy (allergic).

I just want my simple chobani oat nog. I feel like that's a reasonable ask during the holiday season. 😭😭😭

Dairy free 1 week

Hello everyone! I’m 1 week dairy free…trying to clear brain fog, sinus congestion, and IBS… I’m having terrible gas pain. Awful. Is this normal with dairy detox? Anyone have similar experience? Also, if anyone has had success with lifting brain fog from dairy, please let me know. :) I need motivation to keep moving forward. Ha! How long does it take for the gut to return to normal?

DAE hate vegan cheese

I’m recently dairy free as of August and oh my God.

Fake cheese/cream cheese is sooo disgusting… 😣 I’ve tried multiple brands and it has this sickly sweet taste to it. I’d much rather eat a taco with no cheese than use fake cheese lol

Side for Potluck?

Hi all,

This is the first potluck since I went completely dairy-free (and I've been dairy-free for a year and a bit now!), but I have no clue what to bring! I was asked to bring a side and/or dessert. I have a plan for the dessert, but I am completely lost! What's everyone's go-to?

I have no clue what the main dish they're serving for the potluck is.

diet tips

hello!

i’m planning on going 100% gluten and dairy free starting next year. I have an allergy to both but I still eat it from time to time (even though it makes me so sick). does anyone have any tips or suggestions for this diet? are there things i should expect? i’m planning on getting a hungry root subscription so it’s easier to stick to this plan, but anything helps :3

Did you go cold turkey off dairy?

Or did you go off slowly? I eat a lot of dairy right now, but I just had allergy testing and I am very sensitive to whey. And moderately sensitive to casein. I am wondering if I should go off slowly or if it is best to just go cold turkey. If you went cold turkey, did you have any weird symptoms?

Drizzle and Sizzle

Anyone tried this new df product? I just bought some because there was a coupon to try it and it seemed interesting. I think it will be good for baked potatoes. I’ve so far only used it to butter a pan as a test. It seems like a good “buttery flavor” and smelled like butter, it turned to liquid really fast on the hot pan.

DF evaporated milk (not coconut)

I remember seeing a DF evaporated milk a couple of years ago but can’t find it now.

I attempted to make my own from almond milk last year - it didn’t go well 😂

I need the right texture for making a batch of DF (& nut free) fudge.

Does such a thing exist?

Is Duncan Hines whipped fluffy white dairy free?

I asked AI and it said it had mono which was questionable whether it came from dairy. I'm making rice crispys for my sons daycare birthday party. I don't want to bring something and leave the one kid out like she always is when they celebrate birthdays.

Best cheese replacement for cold sandwiches?

Hi all!! I went dairy free a little over a year ago for skin and digestion issues. I have found some great cheese replacements for melting (Kraft not cheese for sandwiches and Miyokos pourable mozz for pizzas and other dishes).

However I have not found a great replacement for just adding to a cold sandwich. I miss swiss or provolone on a cold cut sandwiches. What are your favorite DF cheese brands for COLD sandwiches?

Can sleep again after going no dairy

I posted recently how I thought dairy gives me insomnia. I didn‘t consume any dairy for 2-3 days, and I can sleep again. This is crazy.
