Many people claim to be symptom free, because they think that feeling
lousy, or being moody, or tired all the time, or unable to concentrate,
etc., are normal.

Not everyone is saensitive to casein, but in my experience, common
symptoms that are often ignored, that are reversed by eliminating casein
are: crepitus, decreased energy, sinus problems, neck pain, back pain,
headaches, arthritis, joint and muscle stiffness, female problems, skin
problems,and leg cramps at night---to mention a few that I have seen.
