I have got a feeling you are not getting each others message here.
I can relate to Dan Twogoods description. In a different order though.
Anyway I just found out of my problems from milk resently at age 38.
At that point my health was slightly above zero :-(  Headaches, fatigue,
joint-aches, bunions, muscleaches, bronchitis, really bad breath, rhinitis,
nosebleeding, sensitivity to lots of smells, almost complete breakdown,
and *no evidece in serum tests*. Skintest was not conclusive, but a bit
over normal for lots of different substances.
*If* I was put on a diary free diet as a child, who knows? in my (and many
others) case it should probably have been a *gluten* and diary free diet.
I am not a professional in these matters. However, I do know that there
are certain important developmental changes in brain at age 2-3, puberty
and about 20. I am told some of these changes are related to the control
over the body (bodily functions). Is this a possible explanation to changes
like outgrowing by age? Does the ages fit ? (It fits into your story Lee!)
My daughter just grew out of her problems with bed-wetting. She is thirteen

now. It is just recently that I have learned about the connection between
bedwetting and food intolerance. BTW, she was troubled with earinfections
as well, and had draining-tubes put in at age 3.

A bit on the scientific aproach, The medical scientific approach never
helped
me to get to the cause of my health problems. To a degree, it made me cope
with them. Antibiotics to stop aggressive throath infections. (And making
my digestion even worse..). Well, I appreciate the antibiotics at the time
:-).
A long periode of using a very dizzie-making antihistamine. It made me go
to
work, but it made me feeling strange.
All the knowledge I have got from the sharing in no-milk and other fora on
Internet are based on both scientific approach, and by peoples' experience.
I also appriciate convetional doctors and other healthcareing
proffesionals,
who are able to and willing to address these subjects with a holistic
approach.
