What are dairy products?
Got orders from the doctor to avoid dairy products lest I want to suffer from stomach aches every time I eat a lot. This got me thinking, what food are considered dairy products? Milk is the first thing that comes into mind.
When you hear of dairy farm you would think of cows. So how about goat’s milk or milk coming from other animals? Or how about soy milk? What about meat products coming from cows? Are they also considered dairy product?
Well after a bit of research, here are popular dairy products that I should avoid (unwillingly):
- Milk coming from mammals. This includes evaporated, condensed, and powdered milk. No more cereals for me but I’ll try to use soy milk instead.
- Cream. There goes most of my dessert favorites.
- Butter. No more buttered food. Sigh.
- Cheese. Pizza? Pasta without cheese?
- Yogurt and Ice Cream. So I’d stick with halo-halo? Oh wait, you also need milk for that.
Since milk is a rich source of calcium, I have to get my dosage from other sources including calcium supplements. Other food rich in calcium are: orange, broccoli, salmon, shrimps, oysters and nuts.
Or… I could just ignore doctor’s orders and face the consequences like a man. Hehehe.

is your case lactose intolerance or something more complicated?
i remember i use to have an extreme case of lactose intolerance that i can’t even have milk in my halo-halo. =S
calvin: nah i dont think i am. doctors are just ruling out possibilities affecting my stomach since they’re not sure what’s causing my problem.
is it just dairy products? coz it can also be a sign of allergic reaction. Like me, I always have an upset stomach whenever I eat foods with bagoong coz I am allergic to that. that’s the reason why I only eat bagoong prepared by my dad coz he cooks it well. Also don’t eat “maanghang” foods on an empty stomach.
calvin: well doctors said spicy food din as well as softdrinks pero even if i don’t eat those sumasakit pa rin eh. they just gave me nexium in case na sumakit ulit.
