Has anyone stopped eating Dairy Products?

My situation is that I have a bit of money from relatives that I don’t need/want to touch right now, so I’d like to lock it away in a fund (as an ISA) for growth. I’ve been told that over time, funds generally perform better than fixed rate cash ISAs, as you’d expect, so I thought a fund would probably be the best option. I don’t think I have the time for stocks and shares dealing.

Now, I’ve invested a very modest amount in three different funds before, all on Fidelity. Two of the funds are managed by Fidelity themselves, and one by JP Morgan. I chose these funds simply based on the rating at the time, plus the blurb read like they were something I was looking for i.e. low risk, fund for growth etc. I’m sure there can be more to it than that though...

So, does anyone have any tips, or websites with fairly simple investment advice/analysis?

I’ve considered asking a financial advisor, but I guessed after their “cut”, I doubt if I’d see any improvement over simply sticking it in a fixed rate ISA. Correct me if I’m wrong of course.

Put it all on dairy at 10 to 1 odds to make you mental.
 
I have stopped on the milk front and I'm avoiding cheese as much as possible.

I've been fine until a few weeks ago I decided to have breakfast in the morning to cut my spending at work. Had cereal......felt like I was about to **** myself all day at work. Same the next day too.

Was fine when I didn't touch it then I had a cup of tea whilst in B+Q with a tiny bit of milk and had the same feeling again.

Cheese seems to bring farting and heart burn too now. :(

Shame as I love it, my mum is all happy as she's vegan and is trying to convert me.

Why not just embrace the farting.
 
No thanks. I have no medical reason to, and find the moral arguments misguided and sanctimonious.
 
I stopped drinking milk after I had finished my glass of milk... but I will start again in the morning with milk in my coffee and on my cereal. I might then stop until dinner time and have some more milk in a coffee.

Sounds ridiculous if its not for medical reasons, your going to make yourself lactose intolerant.

I thought you did that by basically binging on dairy? Isn't it caused by a bacteria in the gut that thrives on lactose, so giving it a large excess of lactose by eating large amounts of dairy food means you're selecting for that bacteria and it outcompetes other species. Then when you eat dairy later since there's more of them these bacteria are able to produce more of a certain bi-product that has certain... effects.
 
I developed pretty bad lactose intolerance last year so yeah, not through choice... Do I feel better for it? Well, it makes life hellish for maintaining weight/muscle but I'd rather that than have the runs/bloated stomach/sickness every day. :p
