Remember, remember the 10th of November.


Today is the day I’ll swear off Starbuck’s Hot Choco. It gave me a tummy ache to remember. It might be the milk in the drink, whatever. Sniff!!!

According to the American Dietetic Association, Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the major sugar found in milk. People who do not have enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose they consume may feel very uncomfortable when they digest milk products. Common symptoms, which range from mild to severe, include nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea.

Since I can't depend on drinking milk for my daily calcium need, I can turn to sardines (with edible bones, 3 oz. 270 mg Calcium content) or yummy Yogurt (plain, low-fat, 1 cup 415 mg Calcium Content).

try calcium chocolate bars. they're bite-size choc pieces that have enough calcium in them to sustain your daily need. they're like reisen's chocolates.
