i'm like a cat with water currently, it scares the shit out of me.

dairy allergies - as in lactose intolerance or A1 protein?

lactose intolerance is a lot less common than you'd think, and problems with A1 protein are usually in addition to other immune irritants, and switching to A2 (jersey) or goat or sheep milk often helps if the problem is the specific type of casein protein.

i also have discovered that drinking a lot of cows milk means you really need to get more fibre. goat milk has a lot of fibre (and vitamin C) but even still, fibrous fruit is a good addition to deal with it. i have to be very careful around seed fibre sources, if the fibre mass glues up on top of my half wisdom tooth it triggers a reaction that causes swelling and pain in the tooth and generally in my mouth.

one of my mother's siblings nearly died as an infant due to A1 allergy, it caused him to have severe brain swelling, and goat milk saved his life, though sadly, his brain was already damaged.

i'm looking at what else might be causing my allergy before i take milk out of the equation because of how it is improving my skin and muscle growth rates. if i get water retention, that only ensures i have a motivation to get out and do a really good hard walk. if it's an elimination issue, then again, the walking is essential to promoting that process and getting to the end of it.

there is so many allergens in the food supply now that an elimination program is the only way to really get to the bottom of it.

corn seems to be a big one, i can smell the traces of the oils everywhere in other things, in meats, in milk.

anyhow, yeah, you really should be drinking milk if it does you good. the more healthy you are the better for your family, it's not greed, it's need.
