If You're Dairy-Free, You Will Relate To These 11 Struggles You Face When Talking To Dairy-Lovers

In This Article:

I have been dairy-free for two years now due to the intolerance I developed toward lactose. Over these two years, my stomach has been content (aside from the occasional cheat milkshake), and I haven't starved to death; however, I have been faced with some tough situations. If you are also dairy-free, whether it be for health, the environment, or a personal choice, you will relate to these 11 tragic situations.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends.

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
