Tips For the Lactose Intolerant
Yogurt, creamy soups, ice cream, mac 'n' cheese, ranch dressing, butter on toast — these foods are so delicious and comforting but not for everyone. If you're lactose intolerant (and many people are), a simple slice of cheese on a cracker could have you running to the bathroom. So here are some tips to help you deal with your dairy-filled world.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Grilled BLT Pizza
Just because a cooking technique is new doesn't mean you can't test it out on a weeknight. This recipe for a grilled pizza is simple and quick. It gets you out of the kitchen and experimenting with the grill.
Ice Cream? No Thanks, I'm Lactose Intolerant
Some people shudder at the sight of drinking a whole glass of milk or a slice of pizza with extra cheese. It isn't the fat they're worried about, it's the lactose. People who are lactose intolerant no longer produce the enzyme lactase in their small intestine to break down the milk sugar lactose.
Rice Dream Ice Cream: Dairy and Cholesterol Free
There are many delicious dairy-free ice cream alternatives out there. A few of my faves are Tofutti Cuties, Purely Decadent and So Delicious. The only thing is that all of these contain soy.

Lactose Intolerance: Can You Grow Out of It?
How horrible is it to have to say no to ice cream on a hot Summer day? Unfortunately millions or Americans have to say no to ice cream, milk, yogurt, cheese and any foods containing dairy products because they're lactose intolerant. If you can't have milk, it's because your body doesn't produce the enzyme, lactase, to break down the milk sugar (lactose).
Food Allergy vs. Food Intolerance
I have little kids and one of them breaks out in hives whenever she eats strawberries. Or I should say, when she used to eat strawberries because the hives just didn't seem like a normal side effect of eating fruit. Are those hives a sign of a food allergy or just a symptom of a food intolerance?
