Like Snoopy, I try to avoid milk and quite a bit of other dairy items. They seem to bring on IBS, as does red meat. Cutting these out of my diet helps greatly, but I do treat myself to a strong cuppa on Sataurday and Sunday mornings... as the ad use to say "best drink of the day". The rest of the week, I drink lemon tea, or as the girls in the office call it, "puffs tea"
