I'm lactose and gluten intolerant but I can't stop eating cheese, ice cream, bread and pasta...the gluten/lactose free alternatives just doesn't cut it: the double shot spanish hot chocolate affogato over vanilla bean gelato at my fave cafe just doesn't taste as heavenly with soy ice cream and the only bruschetta worth eating needs to be on crusty white fresh cooked Sicilian casareccio bread. my gut hates me

Have you tied eating dates? They fix alot of my problems because they have soo much fiber. Hard to find, though....And not usually cheap...

Also, we got hubby's test results back yesterday, his cholesterol is high so I finally get to put him on a diet I've been threatening him with for years. Not a happy camper...

I'm vegan so I might have some good tofu-based recipes for some of this, I can make a no-cheese-cake that's better than actual cheesecake.

Not sure what I can tell you about soy ice cream, I actually don't like that stuff much either. But I do know some examples of tofu cheeses that you might cream up for a Bruschetta, and I know other people who substitute other stuff besides tofu like some kinda nut paste that's also really good, I could ask about it.

It's kinda like eating protein 24-7. Tofu tastes like crotch if you don't know how to prepare it right or which kind of tofu to use, but if you know a good cook you can make your cake as chocolatey as possible.

I'm not a weighty person have low blood pressure and I eat pretty healthy yet 5 years ago my cholesterol level was through the roof. the reason: Too much Cheese. so I cut way down and try to stick to low/no fat varieties. but even eating one piece makes me ill. My gut is a bit sensitive due to two bouts of Giardia. Other people have recommended dates...but I don't do dried fruit :-) actually the only fruit I'll eat happily are Bananas, citrus, pineapples watermelons and apples everything else has to be juiced or pureed or i won't eat em...texture issues.
Bytemite a recipe for no cheese cheese cake would be good. I make a pretty decent tofu based icecream...unfortunately I can't take it with me when I go to cafes and most of them only use the one brand available in supermarkets here, which tastes vile. we used to have another brand Fruccio which was yummy but Sanitarium the brand that monopolises the Soymilk products market here killed their business somehow. shame coz it was vegan friendly, and had no nasty additives.

You're ( allegedly ) intolerant to these things, yet continue to eat them?

That's so not my kind of stupid.

Be better than that. You know you can.

In most cases an intolerance isn't fatal, rather it just upsets the stomach a bit.

There's some evidence out there that most PEOPLE are lactose intolerant to some degree, but just don't notice, or care that their stomach gets upset. Cheese and ice cream is yummy.

I am pretty smart about most things but have to admit I have been grossly stupid at times when it comes to food. the lactose and gluten thing just affects my gut.and gives me a rash so i am fairly blase about it because a gizzillion other things give me a rash too and my gut is regularly compromised by abdominal tics (Tourettes)which makes it pretty cranky on and off. I have to keep an epi pen with me as inhalation or Ingestion of most Moulds, moderate levels of MSG, some fruit and most antibiotics would require a quick trip to emergency. Back in the past when I was way less evolved I used to eat just enough brie cheese or watermelon to trigger wheezing and if i was really stupidly indulgent I'd get to vomitting stage which is usually the next step before anaphyllaxis. kind of like allergy russian roulette. the last time i did that (15 years ago when I was more impulsive) I went too far and learned that a) a jab of adrenalin though a lifesaver immobilises you for about a week b) the kind hardworking doctors and nurses at the ER have better things to do with their time than deal with people who choose to get sick. so as much as I miss that cool slice of watermelon on a hot day I just don't go there anymore...stinky italian cheese is another story :-)

Couple of yrs ago, I decided to change what I was doing, and it's amazing what you can adapt to, once you try. Not trying to put myself in anyone's shoes, ( as Mal says, we all got on this boat for different reasons ) but it comes down to what matters most. For the longest time, I put up w/ bad eating habbits, simply because that's how I'd done it for so long.

What I thought was soooo important, that I coudln't do w/ out, I don't bother even thinking about these days. Seeing where I've come and where I am today. it's easy to imagine doing so much more. It's rather shiny, actualy.
