Non-Dairy

So for the past four or so years I have been lactose intolerant and it sucks! It was really hard to get used to the diet change and to remember to take one of those little white pills that helps digest the dairy. It came on slowly then all the sudden I couldn't do any dairy. Major bummer! The past two years it has gotten better, or maybe I'm just better about my dairy intake, I don't have to take a pill for cereal or a small bowl of ice cream anymore, unless I've already gone overboard in the last 48 hours. Its so much better than being sick all the time!
About a month ago I started going to the gym so I decided to start taking whey protein. I figured one scoop of whey with water instead of milk wont hurt me. Wrong! I looked around for alternative proteins and seeing as I cant have soy and didn't want to take creatien, I thought I was screwed. That is until I found out that the makers of Muscle Milk make a lactose free whey protein. How is it lactose free? I wondered. The guy in GNC told me they add the enzyme needed to digest they dairy, just like in the pill I would take. Awesome! I hope there's enough in it to help me! I went to Costco, because it was like $60 cheaper there, bought a 4 lb bag of the vanilla cream flavored whey and tried it out.  Guess what. It works! I don't have any tummy problems with this whey! Thank goodness! Now I can make sure I'm getting the proper amounts of protein after my workouts! Happy day.
