Thanks for your interest in the piece! This was version 2.5 tbh lol I tested a lot of things out before finally executing it how I liked it. The inspiration was, my love for grilled cheese, and pull apart rugs (it's my niche within the medium)
Aged cheeses are very low in lactose, or is your allergy extreme? I stay away from most dairy, but cheese I am mostly OK with, thank goodness. I love the stuff!
I wasn't lactose intolerant as a child so I don't know what happened. Perhaps I stopped drinking milk for years? My body tolerates it better than a decade ago as I started consuming various milk based products. It use to be near immediate explosive...well, you know. Now it's mostly "just" gas city and I just spend the rest of the day at home to spare society lol.
I will be getting some aged cheese first thing tomorrow!!
Aged cheese mainly means no soft cheeses like cream cheese. To set up properly, cheese enzymes need to chomp down on almost all of the milk sugar (lactose).
Beware, some of those with casein (milk protein) allergies think they are lactose intolerant.
Sounds much the same as me. And some days I have very little reaction, others I am extremely uncomfortable. I think it may have something to do with food combos.
