Feel really cold after drinking milk

[Anonymous]

Yup. Ive always had this since coming to US where cold milk is a thing. I even had cereal with warm milk until i realized didnt have to be like everyone else and eat cereal for breakfast (i was a teen). I just don't drink milk anymore. I eat yogurt and cottage cheese and don't have the same issue.

I started couching when eating ice cream and hacking like a TB patient. Thought it was the cold that caused it, but turns out I have a severe dairy alelrgy.

+1 PP is correct to tell you not to dismiss your body's signala.s My sister also coughed all through high school. I could tell exactly where she was seated in the auditorium during assemblies no matter where I was. She finally realized it was a dairy allergy. My daughter has a dairy allergy that causes her to get eczema. When she stops eating dairy, her skin clears up. I personally get acne if I drink too much dairy. So your body might be trying to tell you something.

I am having the same issue. It is only when I drink milk. I even tried lactaid milk, same thing happens. I Freeze! Goose bumps and all. Takes a long to stop freezing.

Dairy milk is insulinemic, it is a potent insulin secretagogue and stimulates insulin release in the body. Sometimes hypoglycemia, rapid lowering of blood sugar, triggers chills. This might be the explanation.

I used to get really cold after eating cereal with milk. I stopped eating dairy a few years ago and only use non-dairy "milk" with cereal now, and it does not happen. I only just realized that after reading this thread and remembering how I used to get cold.

So very generally speaking there might be some super fast binding of iron blocking done by calcium in milk and that is why you might be feeling cold.

I don't have any specific milk science for you but this is what is going on with water:
"water can pass through your stomach and large intestine to your bloodstream in as little as five minutes."

So since milk is also a liquid and would be absorbed at similar rate, that would .. could explain why you might be feeling cold
quickly after drinking milk.

Try to fool the system, load on beef that is iron heavy. Have two or so hamburgers for lunch and then drink a glass of milk
at bedtime and see what happens.

Also .. is the milk cold or hot? Try to drink hot milk. It tastes good.

My other speculation would be.. thyroid... which is responsible for energy management in every cell of the body...
maybe just maybe it is somehow affected by the milk? Then again it probably again boils down to iron that is in every single cell
and so is calcium but too much calcium to fast might disable the iron temprarly making you feeling cold? Maybe?

I think if I were to guess why this might be the case is that you said, only milk not other diary.
What is the difference between the other diary and the milk? The state of the matter..
Milk is liquid and runniest of all diary. While others are either very thick yougurts or cheeses right?

They take MUCH longer to get absorbed into the system and probably that gradual absorption
is also mixed up with the other substances .. foods from your stomach that come along with the calcium that might be way less agressive then the one from milk.

So the milk calcium is just a fast calcium shot into your cells and .. calcium is also a .. metal.. which coincidentally many people do not realize.

Did you try to figure out if this is the milk issue or additives issue?

I would try PURE milk without vitamin D or other junk. Nobody know what is the D they add and where they source.
I get my milk always without vitamin D and buy my own vitamin D that I use as needed not a random stuff.

See if the pure milk will have the same effect. I think you can find organic milk without added vitamin D at Whole Foods.
Every milk has vitamin D but it is normally occuring in the cow's making it process, but I am talking about ADDED vitamin D in the manufacturing process.

This is one of the most nonsensical things I have ever read. Drinking a glass of milk does not “disable” the iron in your cells.

My diagnosis for OP is that the milk is cold because it was in the refrigerator, and you’re spending too much time focusing on your bodily sensations.

I have found the same but with plain organic yogurt, even though at room temperature and not straight from the fridge. Happens less if I add nuts. I do not know why!

Drinking anything cold can cause coughing if you have a sensitive vagas nerve, I’ve read. Not a scientist or medical professional, though.

Do you think it has to do with how you drink it? I can count the number of times I’ve drank milk in the past five years on one hand, however I tend to drink it all at once. Most other things that come from the fridge are things I would sip. If that’s true for you too, it could be the cold hitting you all at once.

This is why my grandmother never put ice in anything and would warn me before taking a sip of something from the fridge.

I don’t think it is the temperature of the milk because it doesn’t happen with other cold drinks. The cold I feel is a deep in your bones coldness. I have chills and I have actually hopped in the shower or a bath to warm up because it feels like I can’t get warm again. (I feel that cold.). I don’t show any signs of lactose intolerance. No GI issues with milk and fine with other dairy. Has anyone else experienced this or know why it happens?

Dear post above me I can’t believe ur laughing at a uncomfortable health and safety concern about something that miserably happens when u want a simple thing done and ruins it and leave the forum and go outside and ask a doctor/councilor/therapist why u should respect and think about others what have u done too.
