    there might be other things involved too.

    took me awhile to figure out that engine blowby was my problem.

    no longer in the truck and kind of back to normal.

    Well on hometime I ate some string cheese. The kind you peel a part. (Makes me feel like my younger years lol)

    Anyway, same effect. Even after a week home it attacked my digestive system.

    It happened with me too. Can't do dairy or wheat of any kind. Dairy has a protein called casein. It's what they use to glue labels to beer bottles. My body can no longer handle this crap. Wheat contains gluten protein, another glue component. When you can't digest this stuff it sticks to your colon/intestine and plugs it up, then you no longer get nourishment from your food and your always hungry because even though you eat regularly, you're starving to death. The glue also causes stomach upset and constipation cycles...back and forth, so it's hard to figure out.

    I still eat cheese, yogart, and Ice Cream. The yogart I have to since the meds I was on was nice enough to kill all the good bacteria in my system... so I eat yogart about 3 times a week to rebuild my good bateria.

    Ice Cream - told the Dr I am not giving up my Rocky Road....

    I do nibble on a lot of trail mix also... the nut oil helps.

    Past 26 years,, maybe 5 glasses of milk... would love to drink it, but I know the suffering the next day I would have... so I pass on it.

    22 for me and now reading this, I'm no longer blaming it on having kids. I can eat certain things, but cannot drink milk straight anymore. Cheese gives me fits too. But yogurt I'm fine with, same with sour cream. So that's how I get my calcium now.
