Re: casein sensitivity -- was Added Yogurt Starter Too Soon...

[Guest guest]

I

began suffering from severe and debilitating joint pain about 6 months after I began

eating a small amount of dripped yogurt (1/4 to 1/3 cup) nearly every

day. I loved the yogurt, and it really helped my gut ecology

improve. Since I wasn’t getting my usual immune response of hives

and respiratory distress after a meal that included yogurt I assumed my joint

pain was being triggered by something else. I went into research mode,

and discovered a mention of joint pain as a common response to casein

sensitivity. Thought I’d better test yogurt to make sure it wasn’t

the culprit. It was; a week after I stopped eating yogurt I could begin

to move more easily, and over the next few weeks the joint pain disappeared.

I

waited a few months, then tried a bit of dripped yogurt again. Severe

joint pain within 24 hours… So I stopped eating yogurt and never

resumed eating cheese (I’d stopped it because of candida levels). In

hindsight, I should have realized that my body wouldn’t tolerate

yogurt. I’d been lactose intolerant for many years before my

digestive disorders developed, and had also become very sensitive to vitamin A

in multivitamins. I was so thrilled that my digestion didn’t seem

to immediately react to our 24-hour yogurt, and it tasted so wonderful.

Oh well.

Now

I include severe joint pain as one of my immune responses.

So,

I do without dairy. I don’t miss it, and I certainly don’t

miss the severe joint pain [grin]. I hope I never have to deal with

rheumatoid arthritis.

Kim,

how do you know that you are casein sensitivity?

Just curious.

Hmm, this is interesting. Since I'm eating butter and cheese now

I'll have to pay attention to pain levels (have fibro and arthritis,

too). But I have to say, during this whole 28 years since my gut

went crazy pain (joint and general) has always been a result when I eat

something I shouldn't. Not all foods do this, but many.

Now I include severe joint pain as one of my immune responses.

So, I do without dairy. I don't miss it, and I certainly don't miss

the

severe joint pain [grin].
