Re: *Possible Junk Mail* Can You Build Up Cow's Milk Tolerance?

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you already know all that,

you also know that the better

part of valor is not to touch cow's milk yogurt - even a little bit at a time -

at

the moment. You'll heal faster for one. And there are other great things

to eat. And coconut yogurt is pretty delicious, even though it is not as

versatile as regular yogurt - although some of the food versatility to which

we put regular yogurt also depletes or kills off its probiotic effect.

You are not going to build up a tolerance to dairy in the early stages of

healing

when you already know it is having a bad effect and tests report that as well.

It's going to take at least several months of healing first, if not longer, I

suspect.

sensitive (it's really common with Lymphocytic Colitis) but wasn't sure about

the cow's milk tolerance. So I'm kind of bummed out by that.

when I had teensy amounts of dripped cow's milk yogurt.

Ishould make the yogurt or not now. Should I go ahead, and just drip it, and eat

a tiny amount at a time? Is it possible to slowly build up a tolerance, even if

you've had a test saying you're intolerant?
