I'm not a big dairy person so I don't think it would be as bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy/page/2#post-666789 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:46:35 +0000 Sammyfab 666789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gluten is way easier to give up for me. </p> <p>My DH has given up both due to some digestive issues and it's super easy for me to cook gluten-free but working around dairy is a little harder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy/page/2#post-666771 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:41:45 +0000 FarmWifeGina 666771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been completely grain free for awhile now and it's hard, although I think it'll get easier as I learn to bake the occasional carby grain free treats. But dairy? Never! I'm a milk maid from way back, I have a cow gestating right this minute so I can have my own milk cow to feed my habit, lol. Almost have to in a town where a gallon of whole milk is over $6/gal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy/page/2#post-666744 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:28:10 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 666744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's tough. I was off both at once, and it was so tough. But honestly, I felt fantastic.<br /> Since I have a mild dairy intolerance, AND insulin resistance, I need to stay away from both. But gluten is definitely easier for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy/page/2#post-666647 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:29:11 +0000 BKCaribBaby 666647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd have to say dairy. I didn't really eat very much of it before the pregnancy, and I think I'm going to reduce it after the baby is born. I LOVE bread and pasta. LOVE them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy/page/2#post-666640 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:26:07 +0000 iheartleopardprint 666640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dairy easily! I never eat dairy, I really just don't like the taste at all. I have been gluten free for about 6 months now too. I find both fairly easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy/page/2#post-666525 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 17:20:32 +0000 yin 666525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was gluten free and dairy free for about 6 months due to my LO's allergies. It was torture at first, but I've gotten really used to it now. My LO outgrew his gluten allergy, but he is still allergic to eggs, dairy, and peanuts. It forces me to cook more often and healthier at home. It's a good lifestyle change. If I had to choose only one to give up, I think I would choose dairy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666434 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:39:34 +0000 mrs. 64 666434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been gluten free for 5 years so I'm used to that even though it can be TOUGH at times. I'd rather give up that than dairy. I would die if I had to give up both because I eat much more dairy now that I'm GF than I did before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666430 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:37:32 +0000 teamjse 666430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would rather give up dairy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666413 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:29:29 +0000 Caly 666413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my...I couldn't give up either. If I had to choose, I'd give up dairy, since I love bread/cake, etc way too much. My sister is actually gluten and dairy free so I see how difficult it can be, especially with eating out, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666407 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:27:43 +0000 birdofafeather 666407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dairy. We already cut it down a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666337 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:00:59 +0000 BSB 666337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had to, I would rather give up dairy. There are so many other alternatives like coconut, soy or almond milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666301 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:51:29 +0000 SugarplumsMom 666301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't live without cheese and butter.

I'm lactose intolerant and LO is allergic so it seems easier for me. Although, I do get jealous when my friends tell me their kids will eat anything if you dump cheese on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666247 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:32:53 +0000 Springtime 666247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I HAD to give up one, I would give up dairy. I love breads and pastas too much! I don't plan on giving up either though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666246 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:32:51 +0000 Mrsbells 666246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither!! I could cut back, but cant cut them out completely </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666243 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:31:40 +0000 MrsH 666243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Orvis18: snyders make a GF pretzel that is pretty tasty.</p> <p>ETA, wow, I didn't realize there were so many of us that had to give up gluten already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666242 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:31:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 666242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: mr. bee has actually been gluten-free for over a decade, and charlie has a dairy intolerance so we've really been doing it for health reasons and not to follow a trend.... and i definitely don't want to give up dairy! </p> <p>but olive has been so constipated lately, and dairy is one of the first things doctors suggest you give up. i think it may just be in our genes because we're all constipated no matter how healthy we eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666236 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:30:54 +0000 kjpugs 666236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would much rather cut out gluten. I could cut milk and go to almond milk, etc, but no good replacement for cheese, and butter is in EVERYTHING in restaurants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666234 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:30:27 +0000 MrsH 666234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gluten. I've been GF for the better part of a decade. It's not so bad but cheese and butter now those I would miss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666231 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:28:57 +0000 loveisstrange 666231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally rather give up gluten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666227 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:28:16 +0000 EBSC 666227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am completely wheat-free, so gluten-free would only be a little bit more complicated, but I think I'd rather give up dairy! Or at least, be lactose intolerant instead of having a wheat allergy... Lactaid exists, but there's nothing to help me when I have a reaction to a bread crumb and my stomach hurts for the next three days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666225 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:28:11 +0000 bushelandapeck 666225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dairy. I have an allergy so I don't eat it anymore but I was never really a fan anyway. I also have a wheat sensitivity and that is much harder because I love pretzels and bread! The GF alternatives just aren't the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666221 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:27:44 +0000 prettylizy 666221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: have you ever had a cake made with no butter or milk? lol! It's not the same ;)</p> <p>I've done both, I feel like there are better alternatives out there for GF these days so giving it up is easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666185 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:10:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 666185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely gluten! I've given it up before and we eat it minimally anyhow. It's easy to find new favorites by baking/cooking with alternative flours.</p> <p>But I LOVE dairy, cheese, butter, yogurt, raw milk, I use it a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666174 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:06:39 +0000 mrsjazz 666174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love bread and I love love cheese. Fake cheeses are nasty. Gluten free pasta is not bad, I bought some by accident...so I would give up gluten. </p> <p>I did an elimination diet when I was having stomach/intestinal issues and had to give up both for a short period of time. Thank the lord that neither were the cause of my issues because I'd be sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666081 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:30:07 +0000 pastemoo 666081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gluten. I used to be allergic to wheat so I mostly know how to do this... I love cheese and yogurt too much.<br /> Although if I had to, I'd give up whatever it takes to be healthy and/or keep my family healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666080 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:30:06 +0000 Smurfette 666080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So hard to choose. I am having to cut dairy now, cause of R's reflux so I guess dairy. No clue how I am going to survive without cheese and ice cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-gluten-or-dairy#post-666076 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:28:26 +0000 bunnylove08 666076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh pasta, bread, cake or dairy products? Oh thats so hard. I think I might do without dairy I need my cake </p>
