LOL only if the patient isn’t “allergic” to

it. has an UC flare up every time she consumes even the littlest amount.

The doctor wrote it down as allergy. Though I don’t think it is a true “allergy”

But severe pain and diarrhea start between 15 and 20 mins after

consumption and in about 5 hours after consumption she starts bleeding in her

stools. Looks very grey and has so much pain I hurt for her…Every time

she has had milk in the last two years it has been a prescription of prednisone

and an ER co-pay. Needless to say, she always asks “does it have milk in

it?” before she eats.

The saying in our house is “don’t give milk,

it rips through her like sandpaper!”

Whole Milk Cheaper, Effective Contrast Agent for GI Scans

Whole milk does as good a job as a diluted barium solution when

used as an oral contrast agent in patients getting a gastrointestinal CT scan,

and it is cheaper and more agreeable (DUH!) with the patient, a new study

finds…… http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_65526.html
