September Improvements

September was a better month. I can only put this down to the decrease in Lactose as nothing else has been changed for the most part. The total trips to the loo were 88! Remember that August was 181 and the average seems to be around 130 since records began in May.

Mum wants to wait until she sees the continence nurse towards the end of this month to ask about a Lactose Intolerance test as well as advise on taking the Lactase Enzyme tablets. 

There was a spike in last months graph and there are still improvements to be made. I have stopped her having ordinary margarine for the moment and she is using Soya spread instead which doesn't taste any different really. Also, she is no longer having processed cheese slices but converted to Edam slices instead (apparently better in regards to lactose content according to a couple of books i have read.)

One book i am referring to at the moment is The Everyday Dairy-Free Cookbook - Recipes for Lactose Intolerants by Miller Rogers and Emily White. The Lamb hotpot was a success as well as last nights dish, the Spinach Soup!

Here's hoping this month of October will continue to show improvements as i will try to reduce the Lactose intake as much as possible for her.
