Why am I suddenly so sensitive to plant milks? I get burping, bloating, and gas when I consume them. I don't do dairy.

If you're someone who can't drink dairy, you may have tried plant-based milks like almond, soy, rice, or hemp. However, doctors have found that these plant-based milks can cause your stomach to be just as upset as if you were drinking dairy.

If you've recently made the switch, your intestines might still be getting used to the non-dairy substitute. You may want to make the transition slowly and see if it helps reduce symptoms.

There also could be something else in the plant-based milks that is causing you to bloat and have gas. You may want to consider seeing your doctor.

What are some signs you are being emotionally abused by your significant other?

Emotional abuse consists of non-physical behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or "checking in," excessive texting, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or stalking.

Emotional abuse can be very damaging, as its goal is to chip away at your self-esteem and self-worth.

If you or someone you know is in any form of an abusive relationship, you're not alone. Please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or 1-800-787-3224.
