A few weeks ago my husband brought home a pint of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food. We occasionally indulged in ice cream, so long as I had enough Lactaid pills (by enough, I mean at least eight) being doctor-diagnosed as lactose intolerant over 10 years ago (really. I took the test).
On this night, I had no pills. Not wanting to miss out on the deliciousness, craving some of that chocolately goodness, I decided to throw caution to the wind. I had no reaction.
Was that a fluke? I decided to test it out by drinking a small bottle of Ronnybrook chocolate milk the next day. Again, no reaction. Could it be? Was I cured?
Over the next week or so, it was ice cream every day. Ben & Jerry's, Haagen-Dazs, Blue Marble. I had Carvel chocolate soft-serve in a waffle cone at a Yankee game.
So here I am. Making up for 10 years of not eating dairy. It's hard work, but I'm not complaining.
