My favorite foods include, but are not limited to: mint chocolate chip ice cream, chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and black cherry ice cream. Sensing a theme here? Unfortunately for me, and 70 percent  of the world , apparently, ice cream and other dairy products do not love me back. While some people suggest giving up dairy altogether, I believe they just haven’t found an ice cream worth fighting for (e.g. Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey or Häagen Dazs’ Coffee). To be clear, I’m not saying the three-day-old chocolate ice cream in the Deece is necessarily the hill that I want to die on, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to spending 87.6 percent of my day at Sweets investigating the latest ice cream flavors. Clearly, I take my doctor’s recommendation of eating 3 daily servings of dairy very seriously. To accomplish this noble task, there are some necessary precautions that one in a predicament such as mine must take. Without further ado, here are my tips and tricks for navigating a dairy-filled world.

Next time you’re hesitant to go for your third ice cream cone of the night, I say pop a Lactaid, say a prayer and start scooping before the Deece runs out of mint chocolate chip ice cream again and tries to pass off rum raisin as an acceptable ice cream option.
