Dairy doesn't like me

[Guest guest]

Hello Garret, nice to meet you.

It means we get the classic lactose intolerance symptoms when we eat dairy. Part of the reason I'm checking out raw options.

Good morning, Amy!

We recently had a friend visit who suffers greatly from " lactose intolerance " .

She saw us enjoying a glass of milk and we offered her one. She was nervous

about it so I began telling her about kefir.

She drank a 1/2 a glass of kefir and I could tell she was waiting for the

symptoms to start. They never did.

I explained to her that raw milk is not lacking in the very things that people

need in order to digest and truly assimilate this wonderful (and tasty) food.

Kefir, in particular is a great raw food that most people who have symptoms of

what we call lactose intolerance do very well with.

From what I understand, lactose intolerance is more a thing of " pasteurization

and homogenization intolerance " , our bodies can't effectively break down and

work

with the altered product and some bodies really let their owners know about it

My mother was raised on a farm, drinking milk from the family cow with zero

problems. She grew up and never made the connection that is was when she left

the farm and began drinking " milk " from conventional sources that she began

having Irritable Bowel Syndrome. A few years back, I suggested raw milk to her

and she began drinking it, making kefir and yogurt. Symptoms of IBS gone! The

only time she has had a reoccurence is when she tried to " make do " one week with

regular milk cause she didn't make it to the farm. A light came on, she went to

the farm, got back on the good stuff and the symptoms abated.

Welcome! May you learn great things here on Raw Dairy Group. It has certainly

inspired me!

To you and the worlds health,

Garret
