Dairy Free Diet: Fighting Causes Of Allergens And Lactose Intolerance

There are really times that no matter how much you love to eat, or how much you like a certain food, you can’t just simply take them all of two reasons: it’s either you’re allergic, or your body doesn’t have the mechanism to digest them. That’s why there are a number of people who are actually going for the dairy free diet.

Understanding the nature of a dairy free diet

It doesn’t necessarily mean that you are trying to lose weight. You only like to cut out all dairy products from your meal because your body is very sensitive to them. You have to get rid of cheese, milk, butter, sour cream, ice cream, and even the most well-loved sweet treat: chocolate.

Why do you have to go for a dairy free diet?

You may ask, “Why would you deprive yourself of such foods and go for a dairy free diet?” For one, you may be allergic to dairy foods. There are a number of people who are showing signs that they are allergic to milk. Your body will react negatively once you take in foods which they perceive as foreign. The same principle can be applied when you drink milk. In fact, there are almost 2.5 per cent of children who are expressing signs of cow’s milk allergy.

You also have to settle for a dairy free diet when you are lactose intolerant. This means that your body lacks a certain enzyme, which can help you digest milk and other dairy products. If they don’t practice the dairy free diet, they will most likely get sick, taking in food with high levels of lactose.

What food to take in during a dairy free diet

When it comes to a dairy free diet, you can basically take in anything. You can even allow your child to go through this type of diet. What’s important with the dairy free diet is that you remove from your meal, dairy products, such as milk and cheese, and everything else that has high lactose content.

It is thus advisable that when you are practicing a dairy free diet, you always check the labels of food products that you are purchasing. Make sure that there are no ingredients that contain any dairy product. Most of all, they should be safe to include in your breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Complications of a dairy free diet

As you know, there are certain nutrients that you can definitely get out of milk and other dairy products. It’s one of the reasons why food experts suggest drinking milk every day or including them in your daily diet. But because of certain health issues, you need to cut them down from your dairy free diet.

Your best option is to learn to substitute certain products in your dairy free diet. You need to load yourself with calcium so you can develop stronger bones and prevent the development of osteoporosis. Instead of milk, however, you can take calcium supplements, which you can buy in drugstores. You can also modify your diet to include soy-based products, such as soya milk. This way, you don’t feel yourself deprived of enough protein during your dairy free diet.
