Dairy Free / Near Dairy Free

2/3 of people are lactose intolerant to some degree. I eat very, very little dairy. A little bit of parm or feta cheese and a little bit of greek yogurt every once in a while. I substitute almond milk for the cereal I eat maybe once a month.

So, yes I am near dairy free and on the rare occasion I eat something like pizza all the cheese makes me feel shitty.

I keep dairy to a minimum unless I’m eating pizza or burgers

I put a sprinkle of cheese on my wraps

It helps big time reducing my bloating

Everyone is different though

I’m the same. I can eat it but it messes me up. So I cut it out a while back and don’t miss it.


(Still eat eggs though)

From all I’ve read, I am convinced milk is only good for babies.

From all the vegan propaganda you’ve read?

That's odd. Maybe you have developed a fungus/mold allergy.

Eta: or enzymes. I've always had the opposite--cheese has never bothered me. Straight milk always did.

I would try some elimination diet tests to isolate other potential culprits.

It is unnatural for adult animals of all species to ingest it.

Yep. Vegan propaganda.

If I had a cow is drink straight from the teat (well almost).

Some people that have problems with dairy is because it has been pasteurized and homogenized. Raw milk is a lot easier on the digestive tract because it has the probiotics in it that are wrecked to make it safe.

Some people have issues with eggs despite not being dairy.

Right, so what are you talking about?

I don’t know why I would ever get into another of these threads about diet,it’s a never ending claim-counterclaim scenario.Like trying to argue religion or politics.
There are studies that will support any and all arguments one would care to make.I’ve read a lot about dairy and all the studies that show it to be beneficial are authored by “scientists “ with financial ties to the dairy industry.Sometimes,it takes some digging to find it.Others such as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietics,which controls education and licensing of dietitians,tries to hide the fact that they receive significant funding from the dairy industry.They also receive funding from Coca-Cola,Kellogg’s and other food companies.As does the American Heart Association and American Cancer Society.
This is purely anecdotal:there is a couple up the road that think my wife and I are full of shite the way we eat.They eat lots of beef and dairy,we don’t.They eat lots of vegetable and beans but they season them with lots of sausage,bacon,ham and salt pork.My wife doesn’t.They are exactly our age,she had breast cancer and he has occasional episodes of kidney stones.We haven’t.They are both on blood pressure,cholesterol and anti-arrhythmic medications(he has atrial fib,she has problems with tachycardia).
We take no meds.It could be a genetic thing but I doubt it.My wife’s parents had significant health issues as did my mother.My father-in-law would get triggered when I would talk diet and healthy eating but he had by-pass surgery when he was younger than I am.He subsequently died of colon cancer.My wife’s sister and brothers still eat as they were taught and they are all physical wrecks.
A book I like is RETHINK FOOD-100+ DOCTORS CAN’T BE WRONG by Castle &Goodman.It is biased towards vegetarianism which is ok in my opinion.We tried vegetarian diet but couldn’t hack it,beside I wasn’t going to shoot deer and give them away.
