I jumped straight into a vegan diet from a meat-eating one three days ago. I'm still reading up and doing my research, but I feel very determined to continue with this. I'm a headfirst kind of person when it comes to pretty much anything I do, and I've found that diving straight into things is generally the best approach for me. Besides, I didn't eat a ton of meat in the first place.
My current issue is that I think I may be experiencing dairy withdrawal. I am someone who ate and drank copious amounts of dairy products every single day for years. I have a headache and a fever, feel very exhausted and irritable and am having some absurd cravings for all things dairy. I also start a new job in a few days, and I can't be in this shape for it. Is there anything I can do, short of eating dairy again, that can help with these symptoms? Any experience or advice? I did some googling but didn't come up with much.
