I took on the #BeatTheBloat Lactofree challenge to see if going lactose-free would help deflate my bloat. This consisted of 7 days’ worth of recipes, specially designed by Lucy Jones, a dietician. Now, one thing I would say is that it’s quite hard to cook 21 meals – that’s 3 a day for 7 days…

Beating The Bloat with Lactofree: Let It Begin
Bloating. I get it – at least I think I do. That’s what I blame my overextended stomach on anyway. And no, it’s nothing to do with overeating of course… When I was approached to take part in the Lactofree #beatthebloat 7 Day Challenge, it was like some higher force had answered a prayer. I’d…
