I grew up hating milk, and being forced to drink it anyway. I still to this day can't just drink a glass of milk. I mostly avoid ice cream as well.

Interestingly, I can tolerate aged cheeses, and most cooked foods, that contain milk. I've always assumed that enough lactose is denatured by those processes to get by my "defenses".

I have IBS. It's triggered by many things. Due to the reaction I have to drinking non-lactase milk, I'm likely also lactose intolerant. I only ever use milk to wet cereal.

This morning I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast. The only milk in the house is regular (non-lactase) milk. That's okay, I'm only using it for cereal, right? Oh my, was I wrong. I've visited the restroom a half dozen times already as a result. 🤷‍♀️

Pro-tip: Reading US political news or really any (depressing) news in the hour or so before bed time can have a detrimental effect on your daily fasting goals. Just sayin'.
