>i haven't noticed that i have a reaction to dairy, really, but i'll >definitely go totally without it for a while just to be sure. You might find that if you give it up for a while and then start drinking it again, you *will* have a reaction. Becoming more sensitive to foreign proteins and other toxins is a common occurance after cutting them out for a while. I used to *love* milk and all dairy products, but giving them up was a huge part of getting rid of my constant (not chronic, *constant*) sinus infections. Now if I have anything more than a little cream in coffee, I get all stuffed up, sometimes bad sinus headaches, and worst of all, allergic shiners (awful dark rings around my eyes). I can eat small amounts of organic white cheddar cheese, though, and it doesn't seem to bother me. Here's something else interesting. I used to crave cheese when I told myself I couldn't have it. Now that I've found that a small amount of this cheese won't kill me and decided that it's OK to eat once in a while, I find that a piece lasts forever and I can eat it once in a while without any cravings inbetween. Mostly I eat in omelets for breakfast. Good luck Robin, and let us know how you're faring.
