Lactaid Life

I don't know what to eat.  I'm trying to lose weight - about 15-20lbs.  That would suggest a low-fat diet.  I'm diabetic which means low-carb diet, and now I've determined I'm lactose intolerant - so no dairy.  How do you eat a low-fat, low-carb, non-dairy diet?  I have no clue.  Part of having CF is dealing with the inability to digest fats; I take enzymes when I eat so I can digest fats. Also because of my diabetes I've been trying to eat low-carb and I was getting pretty used to it.  I'm having major problems with my new Lactaid life - I don't like being lactose intolerant and it's really hard to get used to.  Be warned the next part is about farts, poop and other disgusting things because it is the reality of my disease(s). I figured out I am lactose intolerant because I knew I had to do something about my smelly farts - so terribly smelly I was embarrassed by the noxious fumes.  I was always trying to hide my farts and you can guess how well
