Mac and Cheese?

I love mac and cheese... How does a now gluten and lactose free gal eat mac and cheese you ask? Welp.. rice pasta and lactose free.. everything. After barely eating yesterday out of spite for the fact that I knew everything I ate costs an arm and a leg, I realized how hungry I was. At 9:30pm I made my first meal that fit this new diet. Surprisingly this was really good! Despite the fact that it costs twice as much as Kraft. Annies was the brand I had and it was so tasty! - yes of course I used the lactose free milk.

After almost being late to my university courses multiple times, I figured enough was enough. I didn't want to live like this for long if I had anything to do with it. I went to the doctor that I see and we did multiple blood tests to try and eliminate more serious issues. Needless to say, they all came back absolutely perfect-- which was nice but didn't help the issue to be resolved. Given my family history of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) it was not a low possibility that I would have it. What might be the cure? Well absolutely nothing! One must simply go on a low FODMAP diet. In a short explanation: FODMA...
