Corin - I recently found out that I may have a dairy allergy due to the symptoms of constant sinusitis and GI problems. So I decided I'd had enough of the sinus issues and constant headaches and tried going dairy free for 1 month now. I just can't believe how much better I feel! It's truley amazing. My sinuses are clear, I can breathe through my nose and easier in general, my stomach is so much happier, my skin is softer and not itchy, the dark circles under my eyes gone, and my eyes are no longer bloodshot red …
I didn't realize what eating dairy was doing to me- I consumed these products practically every day of my life and slowly, my sinuses and stomach were getting worse and worse. It's like the frog in the pot of water analolgy- slowly heat the water and it doesn't realize what's harming him.
I accidentally had a piece of cheese a couple weeks ago and I instantly felt ill and those old symptoms returned. I'm never going back to the pot of boiling water (or milk)!
Now if only a doctor would have told me about this years ago…instead I wasted years on different meds, accupuncture, nasal lavage…and the answer was all right here- going dairy free!
