Hello! I've just gone dairy-free. I've always had allergy problems when eating some soft cheeses, but this seems to be spreading to other dairy products, so I thought I'd bite the bullet and cut them out completely. I'm only a few days in, so wish me luck!

Welcome to the site.

I am a lactose intolerant sufferer. I have had this on and off from birth.

It is hard when you first go dairy free as you think you will never survive without cheese and chocolate :lol2:. It does get easier and now I can happily buy cheese for my daughter when she comes to stay. I don't miss cheese now.

If you need help with finding a replacement for a dairy item just ask as between us we should have the answer.

Thanks for the welcome. I love cooking, and I'm looking forward to creating lovely meals that don't need the addition of cheese, butter or cream. And I only like dark chocolate, so hopefully won't need to cut that out completely.

My youngest son is heading off to uni on Saturday, so I can clear the fridge of all the cheese and the other dairy products he loves, that at present are sitting there taunting me!
