By Julie Berry, MetroWest Daily News - Whenever I go through a fast-food drive up window, my six-year old orders a cheeseburger, no pickles. If I say he can only get a snack, he asks for fries, no pickles. Or a milkshake, no pickles. The other day he asked me for a ham sandwich with mayonnaise. No cheese, he said, and no tuna. Do you make ham and tuna sandwiches? Neither do I. |

By Mary Martin - In case you need another reason to stop eating dairy products, permit me a personal story. I stopped eating eggs and milk and butter (alone, not as an ingredient in something) a while ago, however I wasn't a vegan, as I'd still have a dessert that was no doubt made with dairy products; I ate Greens Plus bars, which are made with whey; and I'd crave pizza once or twice a month. |

I was never one to sit down and drink a whole big glass of milk as the idea was always a bit icky. We generally have aversions to foods that do not work with our bodies. |

By Linda Coss - My story began 1991…I sat nervously in the chair in front of the doctor’s desk, trying desperately to calm my wailing toddler. Jason was only 18 months old, but he had already developed such a dread of doctors and doctors’ offices and tests and shots that he became hysterical at the mere sight of a waiting room. He had vomited when we entered the examination room. And now he was crying uncontrollably. |

I gave up all foods with dairy and egg proteins in them because I was breastfeeding my son Evan, who was diagnosed with life threatening food allergies. |
