Dairy Free Lifestyle with Denette

Success on the Health Journey

Denette’s Story (in her own words):

It was April 2005 and I was the proud new Mother of a baby boy…a stressed, tired, proud new mother of a screaming baby boy to be exact.

We took him to Doctor after Doctor to find why he would scream for hours on end. The only thing that would calm him was a cycle of nursing him and him vomiting. After researching on our own, we found he had a whey (dairy) intolerance and I completely took all whey out of my diet.

Over just a few days, he became a happy and well baby. My life also became much easier. Now, we knew what the problem was, and I was not quite as stressed. There was still the issue of how to eat without whey.

Reading the labels, I found milk products in practically everything from lunch meat to breads and dry cereals. It was aggravating to have to bring my own food everywhere, and to miss out of many of my favorite foods.

In late 2007, my second son came along and he had the same issue with dairy products.

This time, however, I had been to Earth Fare and knew of all the great dairy free products they carried. Most of the items were clearly marked so I didn’t spend hours in the store reading labels. I could enjoy goat’s milk and cheese, ice cream, breads and best of all, even their prepared foods. All of the staff were helpful by suggesting new foods to try. The difference in my food choices between my first and second child were amazing. Earth Fare makes it simple to enjoy good tasting food even on a special diet.
