I'm interested in how this oh I'm allergic to this or I can't tolerate this came about? It wasn't like a food sensitivity test was it?
Also someone who was dairy-free for two and a half years because her son can't tolerate dairy even through breast milk I got to drink my first glass of whole milk about 2 months after I weaned him there is nothing that tastes like milk. Nothing.
And if you have a sensitive stomach to any of the gums or carrageenan the options are even more limited.
Second the A2, or the Fairlife. My kids like Fairlife, and A2 works for the gastro issues I have with dairy came about.
For the pp I am responding to, I was fine until around 40. And then boom! My system just couldn't handle regular old milk anymore.
DP, but same here. I drank milk and ate dairy most of my life, without any problems. I Started having terrible stomach and GI issues in my mid-30s, and couldn't figure out what was going on. My GP ordered a bunch of tests (allergies, celiac, some others). All of those came back normal/negative, so he advised cutting out dairy products, suggesting possible lactose intolerance. I followed his advice, and the stomach problems completely disappeared.
I can still consume some dairy, which--for whatever reason--doesn't have as much of an effect. Kefir and hard cheese like Romano fall into this category.
However, milk, soft cheese, and ice cream are all out. Pizza will cause days' worth of GI problems. So I avoid those trigger dairy foods altogether, and eat the OK ones only from time to time.
