Yes. Even I ignored my suspicions that dairy was implicated in my
arthritis, since I noticed that it flared worst a day or two after an ice
cream or pizza binge. It wasn't until my GP suggested that I try to cut out
dairy to help manage my hay fever that the arthritis went into permanent
remission (well, almost permanent, except for those times I cheated or made
mistakes :-). The arthritis was almost unmanagable before this; after 3
milk-free months, I was playing soccer!

I guess the message here is that there need to be more research reports
published in refereed medical journals so that more doctors would recognize
such ailments and suggest elimination of dairy products and a first course
of action.

(The arthritis connection was published a couple of years after I
discovered it for myself).
