The Dairy-Free Lasagna Recipe You Never Knew You Needed
Imagine being super young, and suffering from acid-reflux and having absolutely no idea why. That was my sister, until ultimately, last year, she got diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis caused by a dairy allergy. For those wondering, there is a big difference between a dairy allergy and being lactose intolerant. Someone who is allergic to dairy may suffer from upset stomachs, hives, vomiting and even anaphylactic shock, whereas someone who is lactose intolerant may experience abdominal pain, nausea, or gas, but never a life threatening reaction.
Since then, my mother has had to become innovative and recreate my sister's favorite foods using alternative methods. One of my sister's favorite meals is lasagna, so my mother accepted the challenge and was able to create the most delicious dairy-free lasagna. Whether or not you have a dairy-allergy, are lactose intolerant, or simply want to try a delicious lasagna dish, this recipe is bound to be your new favorite.
