Don't know if this is common or not, but I seem to get sinus infections (leading to sinus headaches so severe I can't stand up) and yeast infections from eating dairy products. Does anyone else have these symptoms? The reading that I've done leads me to believe it is not a lactose allergy, but a milk allergy. A little background: When I was 21 months old I had a double-inteceception (my intestines closed like a telescope and it required surgery). Adhesions at that site at age 16 and again at age 18 required 2 additional intestinal operations. As a result, my intestines are shorter than most, and therefore do not process things as they should. After I got married and we were trying to conceive, I had 5 miscarriages. All at 10-12 weeks. Don't know if this is related to dairy or not, but keep reading and it links in... I think. At that time I had almost constant yeast and sinus infections. I finally consulted a nutritionist and she suggested a macrobiotic diet. No sugar, dairy, caffeine, or alcohol for 6 months (along with 50 various vitamin supplements per day! Well, I did it and within a week, the sinus and yeast infections were gone! After 6 months I went off the diet and within 3 days was pregnant. My daughter Cara turned 8 last month! During her first 2 years, we tried several more times to conceive. With 3 more miscarriages as the result. I went back on the diet, albeit a modified version, because there were no more sinus or yeast infections. Veronica is now 5! As most women, I am "addicted" to chocolate. So every once in a while I slip and have a little piece. But I pay for it within 12 hours! I have recently discovered several chocolate recipes that don't contain dairy, if anyone is interested. Now, back to the original question: Does anyone know of a link between sinus and yeast infections and dairy? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
