I LOVE CHEESE! But I'm finding that as I grow older, I'm becoming more lactose intolerant.
Suggestions anyone? I'd almost rather die than give up cheese. (and BACON)
What can you not live without?

Try non-dairy cheese alternatives like the Daiya brand.
I love cheese as well but after having a bout where I could consume nothing but Gatorade and soy milk for about a week, and a subsequent month of taking both Prilosec and Zantac as prescribed by my doctor, I have stopped all dairy intake. (I never had to take them before and probably only ever took Tums a dozen times in my life.) I used to be able to eat everything and anything with no issues.
I also stopped drinking coffee.
At the time, I also had to stop eating tomatoes, onions and other acidic foods.
I can eat a few tomatoes and onions now but still don't drink coffee (I've had two tall soy decaf lattes in the past four months) and I am doing much better now but I'm still having to be more careful than I ever had to do before. I NEVER had problems like that. Hopefully, I never will again.
Luckily, there are great substitutions these days for just about everything.0 -

Emmenthal, provola and Parmesan have a very little % of lactose so you can eat them

I won't give up green curry chicken. It's my must have, once every two months.0

My husband is pretty lactose intolerant, but he is able to eat mozzarella & Parmesan without issue. He can also eat yogurt, so plain Greek yogurt has taken the place of any and all sour cream at our house. For ice cream he likes the So Delicious coconut milk varieties - he says they are way better than the soy stuff out there.I LOVE CHEESE! But I'm finding that as I grow older, I'm becoming more lactose intolerant.

It's a bummer to have to stop eating something you love because your body doesn't tolerate it any longer! I feel bad for those of you who have to deal with that. I am glad to see more and more good substitutes, like the coconut milk treats - I hated feeling guilty for having a scoop of ice cream in front of the hubs!0 -
Nothing.
I could give up anything really.0 -
Coffee and peanut butter. Make life worth living!0

You are my new favorite person-- I will test those out. I was realizing yesterday that some of my dairy-related symptoms are back (since I love cheese too) and that I need to start cutting it out again. Maybe after I eliminate it for awhile I will try rotating those in.0 -
NOTHING! I love my life too much!0

There's nothing I would die for. But there are a couple things I would happily stay fat for...
Coffee and Booze0 -
Coffee. Me without coffee is NOT a pretty sight...0
-
sex with attractive women (physically or personality wise).....0
-
Mayonaisse...but I eat alot less since I've been eating less of the things you put it on (burgers,hotdogs), same for cheese. I only eat it in my tuna sandwiches now.
Hellmans Low Fat is great. My boyfriend didn't even notice the switch...1 Tbsp - 15 calories, 1g fat, ply fat .5, 0 chol., 130 sodium, 2g carb,0 sugar and protien. If my picky boyfriend didn't notice, you might really like it 0 -
my grandma's spaghetti. completely homemade sauce. tomatoes she canned herself, bay leaves, beef or deer burger, mushrooms, cooks almost all day... mmmmmm 0
-
bbq sauce, i wouldnt die, just the person trying to make me give it up would lol0
-
Wine & cheese - but I try to limit my cheese, I don't buy the kind that I will eat a whole block of in one sitting...0
-
Coffee and Beer. Only pregnancy could make me give them up.0

Awesome responses!
I did almost die these past 5 days trying to give up caffeine, namely COFFEE. I caved, but I am awake, functioning properly and happy now that Ive fully realized I am ADDICTED and need 12 STEP PROGRAM before trying THAT again! lol
POSSIBLY shed a few more pounds being caffeine free or risk staying fat and addicted to it? or ? I'll take the latter. thank you. :drinker:0 -
Red chile, the real thing -from dried Hatch pods!0

2 years ago, I would have said "crisps" (chips if you're from the US). Since becoming focused on healthy eating, I've gone from eating about 10 25g bags a day to 1 a week if that. Trying to remember when I last had crisps... oh yes, had some last Sunday evening.

I haven't really given up anything and I don't think I have to. I eat healthier versions of almost everything now but I haven't given anything up. I still have pizza and ice cream and cheese and pasta it's just smaller portions and healthier alternatives.0
-
Chicken Wings. Fortunately I don't have to have them that often to get my fix so it doesn't interfere with trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But when he craving comes, it comes upon me like a tidal wave.0
-
Generally I've managed to fit everything in...it may not be the best choice health wise but at least I meet the calories goals. Having said that, LOVE adding at least a touch of Barbecue sauce to meat so at least there's a touch of flavor. And I love breads, nothing beats a good bread from a bakery with real taste not just cardboard Wonderbread. And good bagels. I can adjust the amount of it that I eat or play with the amount of or type of toppings I put on it but would prefernot to give it up!0

I have somewhat of a lactose intolerance (I can't drink milk or eat ice cream) but white, uncooked cheese does not bother me. I eat mozza cheese strings pretty much every day and put low fat grated parmesan, feta, or swiss on my salads. However, when I eat pizza or quesadillas, the cooked cheeses bother me.0
