Re: not coping

i cant even have a hot chocolate @Snowie because both milo and all drinking chocolates are made with usually some sort of milk powder.

i made some baked vegies tonight and i realised 3 of those are higher in sugar which im not suppose to have 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

yeah i know she does, shes abit like my family tbh. they seem to know what to say/how to say things hey. its even harder when they live with us too. im sorry that she said those things, even with you in hospital you managed to get her gifts and still a phone call as well.

Re: not coping

Aww that makes it hard hun. I think a lot of it will be trail and error and trying out new and different foods.

Re: not coping

thanks @NatureLover hot chocolate probably has alot of sugar in it anyway so i wont be able to have them to often. its really annoying and frustrating.
at least if it was gluten everything is clearly marked and theres even an isle in most shops specifically for gluten free. i cant imagine someone whose actually allergic to all dairy in general!

Re: not coping

OK, yes, hot chocolates are high in sugar...

Yes, you are in a harder spot than if you were gluten intolerant, I guess. You will be reading a lot of lists of ingredients from now on...but you get used to it. I do it all the time, it's second nature.
