I can't eat anything with Lactose in it. This includes cheese, milk, chocolate, ice cream, ya know...everything yummy and revered by most thru hikers.
In Atlanta it's easy to adjust my diet but next march it will be more difficult to get the calories I need on the trail.
I've figured on honey being a staple of my diet but my gorp will be chocolate free and my resupplies will be sans ice cream. I now drink a lot of "Lactaid" milk which makes up for my lack of calcium from regular milk but, again, next year I don't expect to see much Lactaid in little trail towns.
I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem or knew of anyone who has. We are not uncommon, lactose intolerent folks, so surely someone has sidestepped this same dietery detail.
Thanks in advance!
