Hi, this is Dacey with another one of our, didn't I just feed you, unsize episodes.

In these episodes, Megan or I, or the two of us, two of us with a guest, take 10 to 15 minutes to dig into a topic.

We jump in and we jump right out.

And of course, we continue the conversation in our

private listeners group on Facebook. So you definitely want to join us there. We'll have about one

a month. And today's is how do you deal with going dairy free? All right, guys, I'm here

alone today because I have a lot to say.

I'm going to try really hard to keep this to a tight 15 minutes as promised.

This has been requested over and over and over because I know a lot of you guys are either

going dairy free for yourself or for your kids or your kid is just having stomach

problems and you don't know what to do. And

going dairy free seems to be the first, you know, line of defense. And that's exactly what happened

in our case. So very quickly, if you're just tuning in for the first time and you haven't heard

the story, the abridged version is that my older son Isaac, who is 13 now,

started complaining incessantly of having stomach problems. And at the time, this was about three

years ago, three and a half years ago, he had had strep throat like a whole bunch of times in a row.

And so he had a whole bunch of antibiotics. I would give him probiotics,

but, you know, I wasn't like super crazy about it. I think even the first time I gave it to him

during the antibiotics, which, note to self guys, no antibiotics and probiotics at the same time.

The antibiotics kill all those good bugs in the

probiotics. So basically, I wasn't taking as great care of his tummy as I know how to do now,

and we just didn't know what to do. So I thought, let's try skipping dairy. As soon as we eliminated dairy from his diet, he felt so much better.
