For sometime now, I have been limiting my intake of cow’s milk products – any kind of dairy from Milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, etc. But I am getting ahead of myself, let me tell you why.
Years and years (from about 10 years old to 22) I suffered from chronic sinus infections, and was constantly clearing my throat after a meal. Eventually, my acid reflux got so bad I had to have surgery and an ENT removed some of the tissue lining my throat and nose due to the extensive damage from stomach acid. Just before surgery I spent 6 weeks with a throat and sinus infection – I went thru 3 rounds of antibiotics until someone finally sent me to a wonderful ENT who correctly diagnosed the problem.
Now, I am not actually allergic to dairy. Nope! But because dairy is Mucus-forming is exacerbated my condition.
Needless to say, I hope others can learn this one simple lesson – YOU are your own best doctor and just by listening to your body you can do wonders for your overall health!
