It started this time with a Pappa John's pizza. After eating it I coughed again. Normally it is ice cream that gives me a phelgmy cough, but now I was getting it with other types of dairy as well.
I went to Google to see if this was common after eating milk products and it seems so. I also saw that if you are intolerant to dairy this can also cause fatigue and as I live in a zombie-like state most of the time I wondered whether it might be an idea to try going dairy free for a trial period. It might do nothing, but it couldn't hurt to try.
Then I found an American website all about the amount of pus in milk and other horror stories, I took them all with a pinch of salt but even so they are not pleasant reading. After that I ended up at the Vegan Society's website and they are running a pledge scheme, whereby you commit to trying a Vegan lifestyle for a certain amount of time and they give you a mentor to help you through.
I signed up for the Gold Pledge (one month) because it is Olympic season and we all want to win gold after all. As suggested by the VS I set a date (2nd August, although I then moved this to 3rd as I was out for dinner on the 2nd and as I already cannot eat garlic didn't fancy the extra challenge). This gave me time to get paid and go to the supermarket.
So - one month - will I manage it?
