simple things.

So recently, I've become lactose intolerant.

Does that make you sad? Well, it certainly makes me sad- I LOVE ice cream and cereal!

I started to notice it a couple months ago- pizza would give me stomach aches, ice cream would make my stomach gurgley, cereal just wouldn't agree, grilled cheese sandwiches were death, and finally, I put the pieces together. Granted, being the scientist and guinea pig I am, I tested things out (like the time I drank almost a whole glass of milk two days in a row... only to feel ridiculously gross afterwards), and sure enough, milk has become my enemy.

So this morning, I woke up bright and early munching on cereal and lactose free milk. I was a bit tentative and silly, but it definitely didn't make my cereal taste bad, and that's a plus! And get this-- I have lactose free ice cream in the fridge.


Luckily, my intolerance isn't god-awful. I still eat cheese and regular ice cream in moderation, so that's pleasant. In fact, I had frozen yogurt a few weeks back, and despite my stomach ache, I was pretty pleased.

But kind of like getting my nose pierced, you sure miss the simple things in life (like squeezing your nose and eating kolaches).
