Allergic to Dairy, Who Me?

     Really I said? I could not even entertain the thought of living life without cheese! Lets jump back a bit....
     I am 25 single female just starting my dairy free journey. I have been sick pretty much since high school. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years back. I was always sick to my stomach, and about a year ago started having horrible panic attacks. Whenever I ate Velveeta cheese my face would turn bright red and I would feel horrible! My life was out of control. I began staying home and sleeping most of the time. I found A nutrition club here in Indianapolis. The ladies at the club were so kind. One day I began talking to one of them for about an hour and she had thought maybe that I was allergic to dairy.
      I was in complete shock even thinking about not eating cheese anymore! It took about 2-3 weeks to go through a dairy detox for me. It was horrible!! If you are going through a dairy detox keep going. I am still learning all the ins and outs of dairy free living but I am loving life! I am feeling amazing have lost weight and haven't had a panic attack since!
      My family and I eat out a lot so I am learning different restaurants that have allergy menus and willing to help and would like to let others know!
