Lack of Tolerance - Part 1

I am starting to think that I am lactose intolerant. Yesterday after a bowl of cereal with a probably a half serving of milk I started having cramps and pains in my abdomen. I had no dairy today and I am doing fine. I don't drink milk very often and I constantly pour out gallon containers of expired milk. My dad is lactose intolerant so my heredity might be the cause.

So I have decided to cut out cow's milk from my diet and switch to soy milk. I will try soy milk for a couple of weeks and see if I experience the same symptoms. I think I might cut cheese out of my diet as well, but I love my provolone cheese. I will start with the soy first then take the next step.

The results of this test will given in a future post.
