Butter is a neutral for Os.

I would think so. It sounds like you need to get away from dairy all

together.

Hi,

My children have had dairy intolerances, some call them allergies, for over

3 years. Elimination of all dairy except parmesan cheese (cow milk based

cheese) occasionally and butter (daily, 2-4 servings per day on toast or

bread) worked fine. This was before I knew of ER4YT, which says parmesan and

butter are neutrals. Interesting coincidence as the son who really reacted

to dairy (but not butter) is an O (as I am).

I would cut out everything but the butter and see what happens.

You could also eliminate butter but that is another hardship to endure. I

say that because many of the margarines have corn in them, something else

that an O should avoid. Other margarines have transfats which are very

unhealthy for any person. You may find a product such as a soy margarine but

make sure that there are no other problematic ingredients in there. Some

margarines also have gluten in them (wheat) and must be avoided. So I say if

you can tolerate the butter and not kill yourself hunting down an acceptable

butter substitute, go for it and just use the butter. Then again there are

people out there living with zero butter and zero butter substitute and who

think that is easy and great for them to do. (My family and I are not in

that category. I choose to reduce the butter overall but when I do have it,

it is real butter.)

Also since wheat is a huge allergen, and I've read is a common cause of

eczema, I wonder if you are eating wheat? That may be causing the eczema.

Good luck,

Thanks for the replies.

Coconut oil is the main fat in my diet. It's a neutral for O non

secretors but an avoid for all other types. I also use a little extra

virgin olive oil once a week or so (this is an O benficial if I

remember right.

At Dr. D'Adamo's old message board, he used to recommend butter to Os

and maybe other types. Butter is high in selenium and butyric acid, a

substance that nourishes the colon and prevents colon cancer.

Joe

You're welcome and thank you for reminding me about that. I'm going to

cook out the milk solids in my butter and make ghee.
