Takeaway: If you think you are sensitive to dairy or dealing with pesky symptoms, consider an elimination diet to figure out if it is causing the symptoms you may be experiencing (like fatigue, gas, bloating, skin issues, throat congestion). If you are sensitive and do decide to give up dairy, don’t fret! There are so many delicious dairy free alternatives like coconut milk ice cream, cashew cheese sauce, and almond cream cheese. And be sure to hear Marisa's tip at the end of this episode regarding trying new dairy-free alternatives.
