Oh milk how I miss you!
When you think I am over exaggerating- i would like to ask..."Have we met?" i personally fall short to only 1 person (my sister Erin) in the largest milk consumption per day. Here's how it usually went.
Morning- LARGE plastic cup of milk and 1-2 bowls of milk drenched cereal. Followed by butter on toast.
Snack- Cheese stick, or granola and yogurt. Mmmm..
Lunch- ham and cheese sandwich with another glass of milk and mayo-- oh sweet mayo. Usually accompanied by a cheesy potato chip here (don't judge me.. who doesn't love a nacho doritos?)
Snack- either frozen gogurt on a hot day, or a bowl of cottage cheese and peaches.
Dinner- Creamy enchiladas, any noodles with white sauce, or any casserole topped with cheese- oh and lasagna, manicotti, and frozen yogurt with the kids was our favorite weekly treat.
Enter April-
Got REALLY sick. Like puke my guts out twice in the morning and still take my kids to the park because the day ain't getting any better kinda sick. Hives, and massive lists of GI problems- which I will spare you.
Totally thought I had food poisoning or picked up something nasty from the hospital.
Got checked out by the doctor- who thought since it started the weekend of Carla's funeral it could've been stress. Then the test came back- positive to milk allergy.
MILK ALLERGY? who the junk gets allergic to milk at 29? really? what kind of KARMA did I cross? But it gets better- only slightly allergic. So I should be ok in moderation.
Moderation-- went out the window a long time ago. Seems the only thing that can keep it at bay is total milk abstinence. Even then something still sets me off about once a week. So there's gotta be something in the protein that's in other foods. I am REALLY hoping to get in to see a specialist- because living without you tasty foods- is simply not a permanent solution.
--Till then--
Adios Leche..
whimper.
