Grace! I used to watch such negative food vloggers since I was a young teen, and I found your channel around 2 years ago! Since then, I’ve had a MUCH BETTER relationship with food - and I’m so glad I found your channel because I genuinely feel so free and positive when I watch your vids (instead of the previous feelings of envy and like I wasn’t enough because I wasn’t only eating kale and apples for the day!!). Love you and your family so much xx
your videos are such a safe space. i’ve never felt insecure watching your videos, simply because you are not one bit fake. you always make me feel warm and fuzzy, even after the longest days. don’t think you’re not having a positive impact on people, you are great

Grace, silent follower here. I've watched your channel since 6k. You are my all-time favourite TH-camr. I need you to know what a wonderful person you are, your morals and personality are what the world needs more of. I just wanted to say thank you for the hundreds of hours of joy and entertainment you have brought into my life. xxx
Grace, you never fail to make me smile. I'm possibly your oldest subscriber [72]. I try to keep up with the latest on food, health, and positive young people. I find you to be very kind and loving and entertaining. I love when you include your parents and Banksy, too. Thank you for all your fun content. And the very interesting info on your dairy experience. Sending love from USA, Barb
You can probably tolerate more “processed” or cooked dairy because your body doesn’t need to break it down from its raw form. Ie butter has been processed from pure milk and the buttermilk removed, which is why it’s easier to digest than just pure milk you’d drink.
For me, the protein is what I’m allergic to, so things like butter have a higher fat ratio are easier for my body to tolerate. Who knows, I think my primary issue with dairy is that I’m not a baby cow... actually that might just fix all my problems if I could just live life as a bebe cow
@Dusty Shackleford why would we need to add something to digest it if cows milk is produced for baby cows to drink and we are not baby cows the last time I checked? Tell me again how drinking cows milk is natural for humans. Cats produce milk for cats. Dogs produce milk for dogs... AND SO ON
grace the way you think about things and your mindset is honestly so admirable! you dont beat yourself up for feeling down or uninspired, and can recognise that it’s very human and that we can’t all be at 100% all the time. it’s such a lovely trait, and im sure you help so many other people who are feeling low, because it’s easy to feel guilty for “wasting” a day or being “unproductive”. it’s just nice that you acknowledge we all get that way sometimes, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of
Antibiotics can honestly ruin your body if taking a lot for a long period of time (talking from experience and current circumstances). I went 2 years having to be on antibiotics on and off all the time, and that has ruined my body in every single way. It's just comforting to know that I'm not alone in this! Thank you for sharing your experience. Love your videos!

My bodie’s weird with the dairy intolerance too. I’m fine with cheese, pizza, lots of things with dairy in... but give me a milkshake, a frappe, something with heavy cream and milk, I am very sick!
Have you thought about changing the tog of your duvet. Going for a lower tog may help with how hot you get but still provide a nicer comforting thick duvet. Dunelm has some good deals on bedding and they also have some cute sets. I got all my bedding from there and at the moment have a miniature dauschand bedding set and blue-green bedding set. Or ASDA has some good sets. I would look around and see what fits with your budget xx

i had a very similar experience with lactose intolerance- i couldnt have any dairy at all as a teenager without pain, etc. i can now have some dairy, but specifically know that dairy + sugar is an absolute killer for me still. i can have mac and cheese for dinner, but no (cows milk) ice cream or creme brulee for dessert. as grace said, its all about working with your doctor and experimenting to see what is comfortable for you. there are so so many more substitutes compared to even 5-10 years ago, too!
I’m from Ireland and I Litch watch you religiously. Your sense of humour is MEEEE. I’m also so into baking because of you. Keep up the content gal. You are FAB 💚
Have you tried a weighted blanket? It might help with the duvet situation, I have 'mela' ones and love them :) You can get cotton covers too which are cooler than the fleecy one it comes with. They're good for people who are sensitive to sensory things.
I love you grace, thank you for consistently giving us such wholesome quality content and bringing a bit of joy and much needed optimism to our days. You motivate and inspire me so much and I never get sick of your videos. Thank you for putting a pep in our steps!!
You are a precious little person Grace. You should always feel loved and enough. I appreciate your content so much, it makes me feel like I am okay, life is beautiful in all its ups and downs and its little moments. Love x
I feel like Grace should write down the recipes in the description box for all the things that she bakes. Because I always get really hungry after watching her vlogs.
I've been struggling so much lately and it honestly makes me feel so much better and puts a smile on my face just to watch your vlogs and videos. You are the backbone to my lockdown!
The excitement I get when I see that Grace uploaded a video is out of this world haha. For real... I postpone watching the video so that I can watch it after I have done some work as a reward. Her energy just uplifts my mood evvvverytime. Thank you Grace for being you and sharing your journey with us! 💕💕💕💕
omg yes sunday night has been bath night for me for as long as i can remember it truly does hit different ✨ love you grace, you truly keep me going with your positive vibes
Lactose levels vary within dairy products. Butter is very low in lactose, whereas milk is high in lactose. Different cheeses also have different levels of lactose. It's worth researching lactose levels in different dairy products and keeping a food journal to gauge how much lactose you personally can tolerate. Thanks for sharing your journey with dairy!
This is super random but since I'm early 😅 saw in ur other video that you loved the Me Before You Series, I'd highly recommend The One Plus One by Jojo Moyes too it's so good and I just know youd love it! It seems exactly like ur type of thing and so wholesome and gives u all the feels :) love your videos Grace!
I recommend a feather down duvet, it keeps me cosy when its cold and its not to hot in the summer. Its poofy like you descibed. Love the weight of it too - helps with my anxiety, almost like a weighted blanket. You can also get different tog ratings.. the warmth rating basically, the higher the number the warmer it will be. Hope that helps ♥
You are the only youtuber that I watched almost every video of in the last two years. Your enthusiasm always brightens up my day. Even when you are down you radiate optimism and come back with even more good energies. :D
Bedding - I suggest that, instead of a duvet, you have flannelette sheets top and bottom and get three of those thick fleece double blankets. There are few launderettes these days with machines big enough to wash a double duvet and, for the price of having them professionally done, you could buy a new one! If you use sheets and fleece blankets, you could wash them all separately at home, and use fewer or more blankets in accordance with need - Simples!
Another incredible video to take my stress away! Your lactose intolerance is also very similar to mine. Anything with dairy use to upset my stomach massively, but since taking probiotics for a long period of time, it's now becoming more manageable. I'm glad you're figuring it out because it's not nice at all!
@@Erin._Rose I take the ProBio7 capsules which you can buy in most local supermarkets. I chose these because they have the bacteria inside which helps with IBS and lactose intolerance 😊 I'm not a doctor but I've had a positive outcome from them. Like you say, there are so many out there so it just means doing a bit of research to make sure you get the right benefits for you!
Grace, you are truly the most enjoyable youtuber to watch because you are so wholesome, so yourself, and so positive. You also just do interesting things and have nice things to say! I seriously see you being on BBC programs or morning shows as a host and just being a great host that everyone wants to chat with, and I feel like you'll be so successful because of your attitude and personality! My ultimate vision for you is that you'll have a super modern cooking show where you do TikTok trends and interview popular internet people! You're so great on TH-cam but I'm sure even bigger things are coming your way!
Hope you are okay Grace! I've really found these lockdowns give me mad mood swings. If ya feeling a bit down, I know for sure it just takes a bit of time and sun to get the energy and fun back!! Thank you for always bashing out the chilled content :)) never tire of watching your vids
wow I totally feel you on the weird dietary problems thing - I had eaten totally normally all my life until I was 21, and then BAM intolerant to gluten dairy, and soy... so so painful. And yet somehow and now 25 and can eat everything again like normal? it's honestly so confusing! That being said I do find all this stuff super interesting, it was really cool to hear you talk about it!
watching your vids is such a welcome and wholesome break from the madness of whats happening in the world right now. thanks for the great content as always grack!
Grace you and your videos have truly gotten me through the last year! I’ve been dealing with some heavy mental health and physical health issues and you are just a bright light in the darkness. I’m endlessly thankful for your content❤️❤️ also you and honor remind me so so much of me and one of my best friends and we always talk about our fave parts of your vids lol we are your dads biggest fan
I was basically born with intolerance to cow's milk protein, developed an intolerance to eggwhites when I was 6, developed gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance at 16, diagnosed with a (weird) light intolerance to red meat at 20, and finally became deadly allergic to rosemary at 22... I can tolerate a little bit of everything if I don't have too much (except for rosemary) and I got to this point after years of dealing with it, so I get that feeling of finally being able to eat something withouth the fear of getting sick, it is great, and I am so happy for you!!
Rosemary of all things! That's a new one to me. That whole combo must be very hard to deal with in terms of eating outside your own home or ordering takeaway.
@@Rose-jz6sx if I don't have those things too often I can allow myself to have a "careless" meal every once in a while, and I'll be fine, but yeah, it's not the best to deal with 😅
From my experience there is a difference between being lactose and dairy intolerant. If it’s especially dairy and you can’t even have lactose free dairy products, then I believe it’s an allergy, because your body can’t handle the milk protein. I don’t know if you lack the enzyme, or if it’s something else. If you are lactose intolerant but can have lactose free dairy products, you have a deficiency of the lactase enzyme. Lactose is the sugar in the milk, and lactase is the enzyme you need to have to be able to break down the lactose into glucose and galactose, which becomes energy (lactose is a disaccharide that consists of one molecule of the monosaccharide glucose, and one molecule of the monosaccharide galactose). Some people that are intolerant have some lactase enzyme and can handle some lactose sometimes, or enough to be able to eat things like cheese and butter without any problem. Other people don’t have the enzyme at all and can’t eat anything with lactose. When you’re body can’t break down lactose into energy it becomes “food” for bacteria in your large intestine (I think the correct translation is, I’m Swedish). It’s when the bacteria starts to eat the lactose your stomach can hurt, you become gassy etc. Humans aren’t supposed to be able to consume dairy past breastfeeding, but here in the north we developed a tolerance for lactose because we needed to be able to eat dairy to get vitamin D. This tolerance now seems to be devolving. I don’t know why, but I’m guessing it’s because we don’t eat the same way we used to and we’ve been exposed to other things that have screwed up or bodies and the good bacteria in our gut. Me myself have been lactose intolerant since I was ten, but seemed to develop an intolerance for gluten and pork as well two years ago. From what I know, all my intolerances are because I lack the enzymes necessary to break down the proteins and sugar. Sorry for the long comment, I’ve been lactose intolerant for the bigger part of my life, and I just read about it in my biology course, so I’ve accumulated some experience and knowledge. Love your videos!
I literally waited the whole day being excited to watch your dairy update in the evening with my tea and snacks 😁. I'm going through quite a stressful time and watching your videos is like chatting to a friend. Love you lots keep up the good work 💜
The same thing happened to me when I was about 20, just became really intolerent to dairy. I never cut it out completely, but I really limited my intake. After about a year, I found I could eat most things as long as I didn't eat dairy on consecutive days. I'm 26 now and still don't eat that much dairy for other reasons, but it doesn't upset my gut at all anymore! Whole milk and ice cream where the last things to "come back"... I could eat a whole whole bowl of Ben & Jerry's now 😃
Another great video. I'm still a newbie to your channel but you are the first youtuber to really influence me! Celebrating my 16th wedding anniversary today with a delivery from doughnut time. I've lived and worked in London for 16 years and never had one. We also bought vegan sweets from the conscious candy company because if you and we love love love them. I've recently just switched from butter to your vegan block ... Wow.. you are a really fresh youtuber with great videos and brilliant content. Thank you so much.
I have wheat and dairy intolerance and it’s so weird some days I can eat a whole pizza and be fine, other days I could have one breadstick and be a mess
You are the only youtuber whose notifications i have on (both channels) and I honestly get SO EXCITED when i get the notification of new videos! Gets me through the tough times and I seriously just love your energy
I’m at exactly the same! Can pretty much eat things with dairy in. But can have things like custard, cream trifle . Anything with too much. And lactose free milk in coffeee
My son was the same as you from 1yrs could not have dairy, so he was on oat milk until 6, then we moved him to lactofree milk. He was on that for 2 years and has just moved onto normal cow's milk. So its taken 8 years for him to get use to dairy .
Grace, you help those of us who just need to see something positive. Also, you have inspired me to work on bread making this year, 2021. I am getting there on sour dough bread. Keep up the posts, you are a blessing.
Your vlogs are the only ones I watch! I like to watch them while I eat breakfast before work. They are so relaxing and I love your positive energy. You family are adorable also!! Pls keep making content, it makes my day so much brighter :)
Hello! I’ve been lactose intolerant for 5 years now. Over time I have slowly re-introduced dairy and my body can now cope with small amounts. Something I have found really interesting is the different levels of lactose in different types of dairy products. This may be something that you’re interested in researching as can be very helpful in deciding appropriate food options with a lactose intolerance where you are trying to re-introduce the lactose ! X
If you're stuck with cups measurements Tala the baking brand make a measuring cup that covers wet/dry English cups and American cups. Its my number one go to measurement tool when baking. Also comes in a baby blue colour.
Was way too keen for this update 😂 I follow the FODMAP diet at the moment and one thing I found out from doing it is that there are dairy products with low lactase that are ok for some people with a dairy intolerance. Things like butter, hard cheeses, cream. Monash university has some great information on the subject 😊 Also, I love this channel (and Grackle)! Thank you for getting me through 2020. Always love watching your videos ❤️
Grace, I absolutely love all your vlogs on both channels. You have made all 3 lockdowns so much easier for me, I love your food content and your family are sooo wholesome❤️❤️ love you girl ❤️
Grace I never comment on your videos but I watch and love them all! I am excited every time I see you post a new video because you bring so much positivity and joy to my days-just wanted to say I appreciate your positive attitude and all of the hard work you put into creating content
stop im literally watching the bit at the start where you hit the door with the hula hoop on repeat idk why i just find it so funny the way it hits nwncfnf i love u graceeee
Grace, I use a mulberry silk down duvet (very popular in Asia). It’s filled with strand of mulberry silk and is naturally hypoallergenic and cooling. It doesn’t give a lofty look like duck down, but if you get hot easily I recommend it. I got mine from Amazon.
For your matcha, just put it in a mason jar (or I use an old jam jar) with the water and shake it until it's all mixed up! Just shaking it a lot usually gets rid of the lumps for me! Also, your velvetiser might make a really nice frothy matcha latte too! :)
I'm glad that you're doing better with the dairy situation. I'm was on a similar boat a year ago as well. It was interesting that you mentioned cache because I was learning about cache in an It course that I'm doing currently. Also while I was watching your vlog my cat was next to me, his name is Blue and looks very similar to Banksy.
On the allergy/intolerance subject, I heard that scientists have now devised a way to transfer poo from one healthy person to one that had a less healthy gut and it worked. A bit gross, but if you think about the science behind it, it’s exciting progress!
If you eat a dairy product that upsets your stomach, it could be the pesticides/antibiotics given to the cow. It is best to make sure all your traditional dairy products are grass-fed/pasture raised. This has a big impact on quality.
Cows produce milk for cows no? Females, in all forms, whether human or animal, produce milk for THEIR BABY no? Are humans cow babies? Human mothers get pregnant, give birth and produce milk for their young and that's the SAME for cows and goats no???? The same if your dog or cat had babies too...
"Grass fed/pasture raised" omg 😡 as mother "dairy cows" then get ground up for "beef" and bleed out, and their babies get crammed in a small cage for "veal" sick in the head really
Many people develop secondary lactase deficiency later in life, it generally stems from damage to the mucosal lining of the intestines which leads to a reduced ability to produce lactase (which comes from the mucosal lining), the enzyme which allows you to digest and absorb dairy. Happens a lot after gastrointestinal illness (food poisoning etc) or after some medications or surgery. Your mucosal lining can recover over time, and grace is correct that it is helped with things like probiotics. Look after your gut, and start with small doses of lactose while it recovers! Allergies and intolerances are very different things, an allergy is an immune response whereas an intolerance is a reduced capacity to digest and absorb something, so what worked for grace might not work for you depending on what you're dealing with. Love grace and think she explained this really well, just wanted to share a bit of background knowledge :)
Trick for a smooth iced matcha latte: blend it with the milk. No water beside the ice needed 😊 And for the hot one: put the matcha into the pitcher with the milk when you are steaming it, again no water, that’s how we do it at starbucks 😊
Duvet. The NEXT with silk 7.5 tog duvet is amazing. Had ours for two years and it doesnt go lumpy and with a light throw in winter its still light but warm.
This is so interesting. My baby had a dairy intolerance whilst I was breastfeeding so cut it out of my diet. Then when they turned 1 they started having bits of yoghurt etc using the NHS milk train and was doing fine but got a nasty infection in their neck and needed intravenous antibiotics and since then they cannot handle anything with dairy in it. I will try adding in some more probiotic food things to his diet as we start the milk train again. Love your videos 🧡
I’m allergic to anything from an udder, when first diagnosed my doctor I was 35 she said some people can deal with baked milk protein but not raw and to play with it. It didn’t work for me and I now travel with an Epi pen on hand. So glad you can have a biscuit now, enjoy! 💕
Hello Grace, I'm 51 and I so enjoy your content blogs etc. My niece was watching you one day, and sat watching too, that was nearly 2 years ago, watched you ever since, I thank you xx
Just a tip for anyone baking in cups and you don't have proper measuring cups - just use any cup but keep all your measurements using that cup- so 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup etc. (I used to use a mug for example)
Thanks for all the honest talk about the dairy. I get the bloated painful tummy now and then, but still not sure what causes it. So glad to hear you were able to reincorporate some dairy. I use butter and some cheese, but also use alternate milks because I like them better. Love to you and your family.
I am unhealthily invested in Grace’s dairy tolerance
hehehe, I love you so much. I am as invested with my dairy tolerance as you are, just don't want the squits when I have a bit of dairy lol

I’m from Ireland and I Litch watch you religiously. Your sense of humour is MEEEE. I’m also so into baking because of you. Keep up the content gal. You are FAB 💚
Have you tried a weighted blanket? It might help with the duvet situation, I have 'mela' ones and love them :) You can get cotton covers too which are cooler than the fleecy one it comes with. They're good for people who are sensitive to sensory things.
Never been so early!! Just what I need to get me through my last bit of work

sending you alllllll the productive vibezzzz
I love you grace, thank you for consistently giving us such wholesome quality content and bringing a bit of joy and much needed optimism to our days. You motivate and inspire me so much and I never get sick of your videos. Thank you for putting a pep in our steps!!
You are a precious little person Grace. You should always feel loved and enough.
I appreciate your content so much, it makes me feel like I am okay, life is beautiful in all its ups and downs and its little moments.
Love x
I feel like Grace should write down the recipes in the description box for all the things that she bakes. Because I always get really hungry after watching her vlogs.
I've been struggling so much lately and it honestly makes me feel so much better and puts a smile on my face just to watch your vlogs and videos. You are the backbone to my lockdown!
The excitement I get when I see that Grace uploaded a video is out of this world haha. For real... I postpone watching the video so that I can watch it after I have done some work as a reward. Her energy just uplifts my mood evvvverytime. Thank you Grace for being you and sharing your journey with us! 💕💕💕💕
omg yes sunday night has been bath night for me for as long as i can remember it truly does hit different ✨ love you grace, you truly keep me going with your positive vibes
GRACE, I love you. You’re the best we Stan a flexible diet
Lactose levels vary within dairy products. Butter is very low in lactose, whereas milk is high in lactose. Different cheeses also have different levels of lactose. It's worth researching lactose levels in different dairy products and keeping a food journal to gauge how much lactose you personally can tolerate. Thanks for sharing your journey with dairy!
The queen has uploaded. I really enjoy your content and your passion for baking and cooking. Sending love from Denmark.
This is super random but since I'm early 😅 saw in ur other video that you loved the Me Before You Series, I'd highly recommend The One Plus One by Jojo Moyes too it's so good and I just know youd love it! It seems exactly like ur type of thing and so wholesome and gives u all the feels :) love your videos Grace!
ohhh than you for the rec!!!
@@extragrackvlogs of course! :) it's one of my favourite books 🥰❤
I recommend a feather down duvet, it keeps me cosy when its cold and its not to hot in the summer. Its poofy like you descibed. Love the weight of it too - helps with my anxiety, almost like a weighted blanket. You can also get different tog ratings.. the warmth rating basically, the higher the number the warmer it will be. Hope that helps ♥
You are the only youtuber that I watched almost every video of in the last two years. Your enthusiasm always brightens up my day. Even when you are down you radiate optimism and come back with even more good energies. :D
Bedding - I suggest that, instead of a duvet, you have flannelette sheets top and bottom and get three of those thick fleece double blankets. There are few launderettes these days with machines big enough to wash a double duvet and, for the price of having them professionally done, you could buy a new one! If you use sheets and fleece blankets, you could wash them all separately at home, and use fewer or more blankets in accordance with need - Simples!
Another incredible video to take my stress away! Your lactose intolerance is also very similar to mine. Anything with dairy use to upset my stomach massively, but since taking probiotics for a long period of time, it's now becoming more manageable. I'm glad you're figuring it out because it's not nice at all!
yeah I think gut health defo was a big factor for me!
I'm very similar to grace too, can I ask what type of probiotics you take as theirs so many different types I don't know where to start.
@@Erin._Rose I take the ProBio7 capsules which you can buy in most local supermarkets. I chose these because they have the bacteria inside which helps with IBS and lactose intolerance 😊 I'm not a doctor but I've had a positive outcome from them. Like you say, there are so many out there so it just means doing a bit of research to make sure you get the right benefits for you!
Grace, you are truly the most enjoyable youtuber to watch because you are so wholesome, so yourself, and so positive. You also just do interesting things and have nice things to say! I seriously see you being on BBC programs or morning shows as a host and just being a great host that everyone wants to chat with, and I feel like you'll be so successful because of your attitude and personality! My ultimate vision for you is that you'll have a super modern cooking show where you do TikTok trends and interview popular internet people! You're so great on TH-cam but I'm sure even bigger things are coming your way!
Hope you are okay Grace! I've really found these lockdowns give me mad mood swings. If ya feeling a bit down, I know for sure it just takes a bit of time and sun to get the energy and fun back!! Thank you for always bashing out the chilled content :)) never tire of watching your vids
wow I totally feel you on the weird dietary problems thing - I had eaten totally normally all my life until I was 21, and then BAM intolerant to gluten dairy, and soy... so so painful. And yet somehow and now 25 and can eat everything again like normal? it's honestly so confusing! That being said I do find all this stuff super interesting, it was really cool to hear you talk about it!
yes! my brother was on antibiotics when he was younger and it made him develop really bad eczema which is mainly triggered by dairy!
watching your vids is such a welcome and wholesome break from the madness of whats happening in the world right now. thanks for the great content as always grack!
LOVE what you do! Thank you for making me smile! Your videos are a dose of goodness and light!
Grace you and your videos have truly gotten me through the last year! I’ve been dealing with some heavy mental health and physical health issues and you are just a bright light in the darkness. I’m endlessly thankful for your content❤️❤️ also you and honor remind me so so much of me and one of my best friends and we always talk about our fave parts of your vids lol we are your dads biggest fan
I don't normally comment but I've been watching your vids for about 2 years or more and I love them. Don't stop making them please!
Your vlogs always cheer me up and you’re one of those people who’s videos I’m always in the mood to watch! Love it keep doing what you’re doing
I was basically born with intolerance to cow's milk protein, developed an intolerance to eggwhites when I was 6, developed gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance at 16, diagnosed with a (weird) light intolerance to red meat at 20, and finally became deadly allergic to rosemary at 22... I can tolerate a little bit of everything if I don't have too much (except for rosemary) and I got to this point after years of dealing with it, so I get that feeling of finally being able to eat something withouth the fear of getting sick, it is great, and I am so happy for you!!
Rosemary of all things! That's a new one to me. That whole combo must be very hard to deal with in terms of eating outside your own home or ordering takeaway.
@@Rose-jz6sx if I don't have those things too often I can allow myself to have a "careless" meal every once in a while, and I'll be fine, but yeah, it's not the best to deal with 😅
Get such envy over your gifted items!! 😊❤️
You just made me cry 🥺 you're so lovely! Thank you for helping to keep my spirits high throughout this tough time! Sending you so much love! ❤️❤️❤️
From my experience there is a difference between being lactose and dairy intolerant. If it’s especially dairy and you can’t even have lactose free dairy products, then I believe it’s an allergy, because your body can’t handle the milk protein. I don’t know if you lack the enzyme, or if it’s something else. If you are lactose intolerant but can have lactose free dairy products, you have a deficiency of the lactase enzyme. Lactose is the sugar in the milk, and lactase is the enzyme you need to have to be able to break down the lactose into glucose and galactose, which becomes energy (lactose is a disaccharide that consists of one molecule of the monosaccharide glucose, and one molecule of the monosaccharide galactose). Some people that are intolerant have some lactase enzyme and can handle some lactose sometimes, or enough to be able to eat things like cheese and butter without any problem. Other people don’t have the enzyme at all and can’t eat anything with lactose. When you’re body can’t break down lactose into energy it becomes “food” for bacteria in your large intestine (I think the correct translation is, I’m Swedish). It’s when the bacteria starts to eat the lactose your stomach can hurt, you become gassy etc. Humans aren’t supposed to be able to consume dairy past breastfeeding, but here in the north we developed a tolerance for lactose because we needed to be able to eat dairy to get vitamin D. This tolerance now seems to be devolving. I don’t know why, but I’m guessing it’s because we don’t eat the same way we used to and we’ve been exposed to other things that have screwed up or bodies and the good bacteria in our gut. Me myself have been lactose intolerant since I was ten, but seemed to develop an intolerance for gluten and pork as well two years ago. From what I know, all my intolerances are because I lack the enzymes necessary to break down the proteins and sugar.
Sorry for the long comment, I’ve been lactose intolerant for the bigger part of my life, and I just read about it in my biology course, so I’ve accumulated some experience and knowledge.
Love your videos!
I literally waited the whole day being excited to watch your dairy update in the evening with my tea and snacks 😁. I'm going through quite a stressful time and watching your videos is like chatting to a friend. Love you lots keep up the good work 💜
You are doing an amazing job! I love the positivity of your VLOGS, even when you feel a bit down. I enjoy your cooking challenges the most!
The same thing happened to me when I was about 20, just became really intolerent to dairy. I never cut it out completely, but I really limited my intake. After about a year, I found I could eat most things as long as I didn't eat dairy on consecutive days. I'm 26 now and still don't eat that much dairy for other reasons, but it doesn't upset my gut at all anymore! Whole milk and ice cream where the last things to "come back"... I could eat a whole whole bowl of Ben & Jerry's now 😃
Another great video. I'm still a newbie to your channel but you are the first youtuber to really influence me! Celebrating my 16th wedding anniversary today with a delivery from doughnut time. I've lived and worked in London for 16 years and never had one. We also bought vegan sweets from the conscious candy company because if you and we love love love them. I've recently just switched from butter to your vegan block ... Wow.. you are a really fresh youtuber with great videos and brilliant content. Thank you so much.
Hi Grace!
I, for one, look forward to your videos popping up! And please don't quit the chill everyday type vlogs! I think they're my favorite!
I have wheat and dairy intolerance and it’s so weird some days I can eat a whole pizza and be fine, other days I could have one breadstick and be a mess
I am a mother of two children.
I watch your channel every morning before work.
I am encouraged by your show.
You are the only youtuber whose notifications i have on (both channels) and I honestly get SO EXCITED when i get the notification of new videos! Gets me through the tough times and I seriously just love your energy
I’m at exactly the same! Can pretty much eat things with dairy in. But can have things like custard, cream trifle . Anything with too much. And lactose free milk in coffeee
My son was the same as you from 1yrs could not have dairy, so he was on oat milk until 6, then we moved him to lactofree milk. He was on that for 2 years and has just moved onto normal cow's milk. So its taken 8 years for him to get use to dairy .
Grace, you help those of us who just need to see something positive. Also, you have inspired me to work on bread making this year, 2021. I am getting there on sour dough bread. Keep up the posts, you are a blessing.
Your vlogs are the only ones I watch! I like to watch them while I eat breakfast before work. They are so relaxing and I love your positive energy. You family are adorable also!! Pls keep making content, it makes my day so much brighter :)
Hello! I’ve been lactose intolerant for 5 years now. Over time I have slowly re-introduced dairy and my body can now cope with small amounts. Something I have found really interesting is the different levels of lactose in different types of dairy products. This may be something that you’re interested in researching as can be very helpful in deciding appropriate food options with a lactose intolerance where you are trying to re-introduce the lactose ! X
If you're stuck with cups measurements Tala the baking brand make a measuring cup that covers wet/dry English cups and American cups. Its my number one go to measurement tool when baking. Also comes in a baby blue colour.
Was way too keen for this update 😂 I follow the FODMAP diet at the moment and one thing I found out from doing it is that there are dairy products with low lactase that are ok for some people with a dairy intolerance. Things like butter, hard cheeses, cream. Monash university has some great information on the subject 😊
Also, I love this channel (and Grackle)! Thank you for getting me through 2020. Always love watching your videos ❤️
Grace, I absolutely love all your vlogs on both channels. You have made all 3 lockdowns so much easier for me, I love your food content and your family are sooo wholesome❤️❤️ love you girl ❤️
Vanilla almond milk, ice, and matcha blended up with something to make it a bit sweet is delightful!
ohhh that sounds fun!!!
Grace I never comment on your videos but I watch and love them all! I am excited every time I see you post a new video because you bring so much positivity and joy to my days-just wanted to say I appreciate your positive attitude and all of the hard work you put into creating content
stop im literally watching the bit at the start where you hit the door with the hula hoop on repeat idk why i just find it so funny the way it hits nwncfnf i love u graceeee
Grace, I use a mulberry silk down duvet (very popular in Asia). It’s filled with strand of mulberry silk and is naturally hypoallergenic and cooling. It doesn’t give a lofty look like duck down, but if you get hot easily I recommend it. I got mine from Amazon.
For your matcha, just put it in a mason jar (or I use an old jam jar) with the water and shake it until it's all mixed up! Just shaking it a lot usually gets rid of the lumps for me! Also, your velvetiser might make a really nice frothy matcha latte too! :)
I'm glad that you're doing better with the dairy situation. I'm was on a similar boat a year ago as well.
It was interesting that you mentioned cache because I was learning about cache in an It course that I'm doing currently. Also while I was watching your vlog my cat was next to me, his name is Blue and looks very similar to Banksy.
On the allergy/intolerance subject, I heard that scientists have now devised a way to transfer poo from one healthy person to one that had a less healthy gut and it worked. A bit gross, but if you think about the science behind it, it’s exciting progress!
Guarantee your Sunday's are more fun packed than mine, especially beginning with a hula hooping sesh😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
If you eat a dairy product that upsets your stomach, it could be the pesticides/antibiotics given to the cow. It is best to make sure all your traditional dairy products are grass-fed/pasture raised. This has a big impact on quality.
Cows produce milk for cows no? Females, in all forms, whether human or animal, produce milk for THEIR BABY no? Are humans cow babies? Human mothers get pregnant, give birth and produce milk for their young and that's the SAME for cows and goats no???? The same if your dog or cat had babies too...
"Grass fed/pasture raised" omg 😡 as mother "dairy cows" then get ground up for "beef" and bleed out, and their babies get crammed in a small cage for "veal" sick in the head really
I have been so unmotivated with uni work, like honestly, the worst I've ever felt. But your videos get me motivated without FAIL.
Many people develop secondary lactase deficiency later in life, it generally stems from damage to the mucosal lining of the intestines which leads to a reduced ability to produce lactase (which comes from the mucosal lining), the enzyme which allows you to digest and absorb dairy. Happens a lot after gastrointestinal illness (food poisoning etc) or after some medications or surgery. Your mucosal lining can recover over time, and grace is correct that it is helped with things like probiotics. Look after your gut, and start with small doses of lactose while it recovers! Allergies and intolerances are very different things, an allergy is an immune response whereas an intolerance is a reduced capacity to digest and absorb something, so what worked for grace might not work for you depending on what you're dealing with.
Love grace and think she explained this really well, just wanted to share a bit of background knowledge :)
Trick for a smooth iced matcha latte: blend it with the milk. No water beside the ice needed 😊
And for the hot one: put the matcha into the pitcher with the milk when you are steaming it, again no water, that’s how we do it at starbucks 😊
Your video’s always make me happy! Thank you for being you in the interwebs. You are the best 😌🥳
Awww Grace I really enjoyed meeting you on Saturday!! Lots of love xxx
I SCREAMED when you said you played Gold Miner!! I LOVED that!!!!!! I started playing it during lockdown out of boredom as well hahahahaha amazing!!!!
the excitement i feel when I see grace have a new video I honestly cannot thank you enough for raising my spirits during lockdown xx
Duvet. The NEXT with silk 7.5 tog duvet is amazing. Had ours for two years and it doesnt go lumpy and with a light throw in winter its still light but warm.
This is so interesting. My baby had a dairy intolerance whilst I was breastfeeding so cut it out of my diet. Then when they turned 1 they started having bits of yoghurt etc using the NHS milk train and was doing fine but got a nasty infection in their neck and needed intravenous antibiotics and since then they cannot handle anything with dairy in it. I will try adding in some more probiotic food things to his diet as we start the milk train again. Love your videos 🧡
Such a cutie too. So sorry your little had to go through IV antibiotics, that must have been so hard for both of you.
@@disasterofalldisasters yeah it wasn’t fun. So sad to see your baby poorly. 😭
I’m allergic to anything from an udder, when first diagnosed my doctor I was 35 she said some people can deal with baked milk protein but not raw and to play with it. It didn’t work for me and I now travel with an Epi pen on hand. So glad you can have a biscuit now, enjoy! 💕
That's because you aren't a calf 💛
Hello Grace, I'm 51 and I so enjoy your content blogs etc. My niece was watching you one day, and sat watching too, that was nearly 2 years ago, watched you ever since, I thank you xx
Cute!
Just a tip for anyone baking in cups and you don't have proper measuring cups - just use any cup but keep all your measurements using that cup- so 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup etc. (I used to use a mug for example)
yay new video! loving the content,, hope everyones well:)
thank you! hope you are well too!
Thanks for all the honest talk about the dairy. I get the bloated painful tummy now and then, but still not sure what causes it. So glad to hear you were able to reincorporate some dairy. I use butter and some cheese, but also use alternate milks because I like them better. Love to you and your family.
can we all just appreciate how much grace has kept us all sane this lockdown - immaculate vibes
