I went dairy free 6 years ago when I was 19 when I found out I was allergic or intolerant to dairy!. I didn't have any books, I just took it one day at a time!. at first it was so hard to give up the foods I was used to eating, and I felt so deprived because I didn't know what to eat!. but I stuck with it and eventually I started to get used to it, and I felt better than i'd ever felt in my life, so it was totally worth the initial discomfort!. (I also had to give up wheat for the same reason, so yes it was very hard at the beginning)!.
Dairy is very mucus-forming inthe body, and thus,!. giving it up helps the body to more efficiently absorb nutrients from food and supplements as well, even if you're not cutting it out for allergy reasons!.
Some things I found that I enjoy:
-soy milk: try every brand you can find, and then stick with the one you like best!. It's great for cereal, tea, protein shakes and to mix with fruit in a bowl when you feel like eating peaches and cream :)
-alternatively, there are milks made from rice, almonds, potato, and hemp that you can try as well
-soy cheese: most soy cheeses are actually made from casein (milk protein) so ironically are no good if you're allergic to dairy, but Earth Island makes a tofu-based cheese in jalapeno and mozza flavours that are really good
-or, you can try goats milk cheese unless you're allergic to that, too!.!.!.I can actually eat goats cheeses, depends on your situation
-instead of butter, I use a good extra vrigin olive oil in mashed potatoes, or on popcorn!.!.!.or any good tasting vegetable oil works great too
-when I make a cream-based soup, I use either unsweetened extra thick soymilk or coconut milk
-soy yogurts are good, my fave is Nancy's Organic Cultured Soy, I like both the plain and the little ones with fruits in them, but So Nice and Olympic soy yogurts are also really good
-eat lots of sesame seeds, almonds and leafy greens like spinach and kale to supply calcium and magnesium in your diet, or take a supplement
Hope this helps! email me if you have any questions, I love to help :)
and good luck with your journey :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
